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 ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

Baked goods aren't necessarily what you think of when it comes to "health foods," but this one flour swap could turn any ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) predictions produce an explosion of three-dimensional protein structure data, a bottleneck is growing as interpretation fails to keep up with the deluge. In this ...

Three-letter DNA “words” can decide whether a yeast cell cranks out a medicine efficiently or sputters along. The words are ...

Researchers are testing a fundamentally different strategy against neurodegenerative disease: instead of clearing protein ...

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20^100 ...

There’s a mysterious energy quietly influencing your brain. Could it explain where your consciousness originates?

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 ...
