Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

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.

Leveraging AI and quantum calculations, scientists developed a new tool that yielded higher-quality structural information and solved notoriously elusive proteins.

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...

Researchers have taken a significant step forward in understanding the stability of proteins by leveraging the power of AI. The research team used AlphaFold2 to explore how mutations affect protein ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

University of Missouri researchers have released the world's largest collection of protein models with quality assessment—a groundbreaking new resource that could accelerate drug development for ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins lack a fixed structure, which is why they have been considered "undruggable" targets for ...

A new study suggests Alzheimer’s disease may be detectable through subtle shape changes in proteins found in the blood.
