Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For ...

Google DeepMind, the artificial intelligence company behind the popular AlphaFold tool, has published the next generation of the application’s protein structure prediction software. The new tool can ...

Biological targets represent a considerable test of our knowledge of the fundamental principles of molecular recognition. Effective modulation of biological events requires the generation of molecules ...

An unusual protein structure known as a “rippled beta sheet,” first predicted in 1953, has now been created in the laboratory and characterized in detail using x-ray crystallography. The new findings, ...

Proteins are bio-macromolecules with a range of functionalities as a result of complex higher-order structures. As the end product of the “central dogma” in biology, proteins are considered the key ...
