Proteins Mosaic Q is a global citizen-science initiative that invites volunteers to help confirm a newly identified structural pattern in the three-dimensional architecture of proteins. The project ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

A new citizen-science project is investigating a possible universal structural pattern in protein 3D architecture; The pattern involves amino acids clustering by chemical type int ...

Explore advances in protein imaging techniques and spatial proteomics. Learn how modern imaging tools reveal protein dynamics and organization in cells.

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers led by Anna-Karin Gustavsson at Rice University has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at ...

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 ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

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 ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.
