In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...

A team of researchers describes the mechanism by which the MEC-2 protein condensates of the touch receptor neurons transition from fluid to solid-like states, switching their role in the transmission ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

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 ...

Every function in a cell is associated with a particular protein or group of proteins, typically in a well-defined ...

Over decades, antibodies have established themselves as a key therapeutic modality for a wide range of diseases. But antibodies as they are found in nature did not evolve to be used as drugs, says ...

Scientists have uncovered a fascinating piece of the puzzle surrounding the origins of human language, suggesting that a ...
