With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and ...

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

The developers of OpenFold3 have released an early version of the tool, which they hope will one day perform on par with DeepMind’s protein-structure model.

Proteins play a key role not only in the body, but also in medicine: they either serve as active ingredients, such as enzymes ...

Virtual screening methods fall broadly into two categories: ligand- and structure-based. Ligand-based virtual screening doesn’t require a target protein structure, Instead, it leverages known active ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

Motor proteins are tiny "machines" inside cells that use chemical energy to move along molecular tracks and carry out ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

Pranam Chatterjee, PhD, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), emphasizes that text is all you need for artificial intelligence (AI) models to effectively ...
