Designing de novo proteins holds immense potential for achieving superior combinations of novel functions and mechanical properties, thereby advancing biological and engineering applications. However, ...

Using an ionic solution, protein sequences can now be pulled through a nanopore. Researchers at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) have found a way to transport a protein through a nanopore ...

Gene sequences are made up of nucleotide bases, which are 'read' by the cell's machinery in triplets; three nucleotide bases are interpreted as one codon, and every codon has a corresponding amino ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. This article is more than 2 years old. David Baker (University of ...

Biologists found a way to identify and study low-complexity regions of proteins. The technique allows them to analyze similarities and differences between LCRs from different species, and helps ...

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 ...

The so-called magneto-sensitive fluorescent proteins or MFPs, overcome key limitations of previous biological candidates for quantum sensors.

Inside the race to turn one of cell biology’s least understood processes into a new foundation for drug development and production.

A multicolored protein structure is blurred at the edges and comes into focus toward the center. Detail of a protein designed using a tool called ProteinMPNN Credit: Ian C. Haydon/UW Institute for ...
