Proteins, with their extraordinary diversity of structure and function, pose some of the toughest problems in the field of bioinformatics, giving rise to a growing arsenal of computational tools for ...

Nanopores are tiny, nanometer-scale apertures that are synthetically produced in manufactured materials as well as biological membranes. They allow ions or molecules to pass through and have been ...

Researchers headed by a team at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have developed an AI tool that they say has made a ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can more accurately predict how proteins interact with one another—an advancement that could accelerate drug discovery and ...

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,” ...

The genetic code has given rise to the enormous diversity of proteins we see in nature—and rearranging the order of codons that make up a protein’s sequence leads to an immense variety of structure ...

The number of known proteins is infinitely small in comparison to the universe of possible proteins, which could in theory be realized. Yet these known proteins are the only major training ground for ...

The Human Domainome 1—the largest library of human protein variants—reveals the cause of certain genetic disorders, paving the way for personalized medicines. “We measured every possible mutation in ...
