How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although ...

DZBB resembles a compact cylinder made up of interlocking protein strands. The ancient, origami-like structure can transform ...

In this interview, we catch up with Jue Wang from Google DeepMind to learn more about computational protein design.

A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

While the traditional structure ... simple basis for new protein interactions and thereby allow organisms to rapidly adapt to their changing environment. This feature, however, also makes these motifs ...

DeepMind has predicted the structure of almost every protein so far catalogued by science, cracking one of the grand challenges of biology in just 18 months thanks to an artificial intelligence ...

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ...

Our research focus is currently on ER receptor complexes and adhesion protein interactions, and broadly on the structural biology of proteins, with a variety of biophysical, biochemical, and cell ...

Finally, I will briefly describe significant progress in ab initio protein structure prediction.
