Recent advances in computational biology have revolutionised the field of protein structure and function prediction. Traditionally, determining the three‐dimensional architecture of a protein from its ...

Structural biology studies the 3D-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, as a tool to decipher their function and mechanisms of action. You may be ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

Kirill Alexandrov Artificial intelligence–designed “smart” proteins can be programmed to turn on when they detect a certain ...

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 ...

Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of ...

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in ...

Researchers at Linköping University show how two important cancer-related proteins can be prevented from collaborating with ...
