In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key tool in scientific discovery, opening up new avenues for ...

Mutations in a complex that helps proteins fold correctly are tied to developmental disorders that include seizures and intellectual disability, Stanford Medicine-led research has found.

The hydrophobic-polar protein folding model is a highly simplified model for examining protein folds in space. First proposed by Ken Dill in 1985, it is the most known type of lattice protein: it ...

Understanding the dynamic evolution of microscopic systems has been one of the biggest challenges in fundamental research, which plays a key role in areas like protein folding, drug development ...

Researchers have found an ancient protein fold that might explain how life’s basic building blocks became the complex systems ...

High mutational load tumors mitigate effects from protein-damaging mutations by up-regulating complexes that buffer against misfolding stress, revealing therapeutic vulnerabilities and suggesting ...

Find out how Google DeepMind's AlphaFold3 platform could help scientists revolutionize the field of drug discovery.

In 2024, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their foundational work in ...

One was working out how to efficiently manage magnetic fields that enable controlled nuclear fusion. The other involved understanding the mechanics of protein folding, and making good guesses about ...
