The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

An artificial intelligence model has created a new protein that researchers say would have taken 500 million years to evolve ...

These insights could drive the development of new drugs to treat transthyretin amyloidosis, a progressive and fatal disease.

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

If your genes could set an alarm clock, EZH1 might be the one ringing the bell. A new study has revealed how this ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an AI-based platform that designs short proteins, termed peptides, ...

The protein was then synthesized and tested in the lab. It glowed—a clear sign of success. The AI had effectively charted a ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel ...

Quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) can be combined with classical computing methods to design and discover small-molecule candidates that target the cancer-driving KRAS protein, ...

Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...
