WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Proteins are often called the working molecules of the human body. A typical body has more than 20,000 different types of proteins, each of which are involved in many functions ...

Proteins, shown in different colors, interact to form a protein complex. (UW Medicine Institute for Protein Design / Ian C. Haydon) A new study peers into the structure of hundreds of protein ...

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

Protein design researchers have created a freely available method, RoseTTAFold, to provide access to highly accurate protein structure prediction. Scientists around the world are using it to build ...

Two groups have announced powerful new generative models that can design new proteins on demand not seen in nature. The explosion in text-to-image AI models like OpenAI’s DALL-E 2—programs trained to ...

Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...

New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the existence of a recently identified type of protein misfolding. Proteins must ...

Many chemistry and biochemistry textbooks include thousands of pictures of molecules. These images help many students learn to recognize molecules and the structural features that affect their ...

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 ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest ...
