Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of ...

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 ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell’s damage detection system, scientists at Johns Hopkins and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have published ...

Treeline Biosciences is shaking things up in the world of drug discovery. They’re using some really advanced ways to look at ...

The “ChatGPT moment” for biology proceeds to unfold as protein language models, or machine learning tools trained on large databases of protein sequences, work to decode the language of life with the ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

A three-decade-old competition that has spawned three Nobel laureates is becoming victim to the chaos at the National Institutes of Health. The Community Wide Experiment on the Critical Assessment of ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...
