A team of researchers has made a breakthrough in solving a problem that has defied biologists for decades: How to compute a protein’s three-dimensional structure, or shape, based on genetic ...

For years, scientists have long questioned the viability of predicting protein functional shapes through the concept of understanding their initial foundational structure or building blocks of the ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...

Researchers are using crystallography to gain a better understanding of how proteins shapeshift. The knowledge can provide valuable insight into stopping and treating diseases. Proteins do the heavy ...

A study by researchers at the Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels, the Structural Biology research group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and IBiTech–BioMMedA Group of Ghent ...

With the advent of AI-powered protein design tools, protein-based therapeutics may no longer be constrained by the limits imposed by natural selection. Protein-based therapeutics have been ...

New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...

It was the year protein was oversold, overvalued and overhyped. The science of protein has not changed; we just need to ...

Researchers investigated the quantities of thousands of muscle proteins and found a possible new explanation for muscle memory. A study showed for the first time that muscles 'remember' training at ...
