In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the AlphaFold Database, accelerating molecular biology research.

Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured path to life’s earliest molecular systems.

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based alternatives, proteins encompass a large class of complex biomolecules whose ...

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 ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...

Dr. Travis Craddock, professor and Canada Research Chair, says the team's findings change our basic knowledge of biology (University of Waterloo). A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of ...

Scripps Research scientists discovered that some sections of the hormone-carrying molecule transthyretin (left) are in constant motion (right), which may explain why the protein can misfold and ...

Viruses are masters at invading cells thanks to specialized proteins that coat their surfaces. When scientists design ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...
