Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing question: Could a single molecule switch between two different roles like a ...

The AI tool AlphaFold has been improved so that it can now predict the shape of very large and complex protein structures. Researchers have also succeeded in integrating experimental data into the ...

A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another ...

Researchers have developed a diagnostic panel that identifies cognitive decline by analyzing how blood proteins fold. This ...

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 ...

Scientists from Scripps Research have uncovered new structures of transthyretin, a protein that moves important hormones like thyroxine through blood and spinal fluid. Misfolded versions of the ...

This review provides an overview of traditional and modern methods for protein structure prediction and their characteristics and introduces the groundbreaking network features of the AlphaFold family ...

Recently, SandboxAQ launched what it claims is the largest publicly available dataset of protein-ligand pairs with annotated experimental binding potency data. According to the company, the ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...
