Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

Leveraging AI and quantum calculations, scientists developed a new tool that yielded higher-quality structural information and solved notoriously elusive proteins.

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational ...

The researchers matched the 3D shapes to the structures of proteins whose functions are already known. Because the structure of a protein directly contributes to its biological function, their study ...
