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, ...

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,” ...

In the rapidly advancing field of computational biology, a newly peer-reviewed review explores the transformative role of deep learning techniques in revolutionizing protein structure prediction. The ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only ...

Illustration showing how integrating protein three-dimensional structures with artificial intelligence algorithms can predict synergistic or antagonistic effects of drug combinations, guiding safer ...
