For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

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 ...

Proteins, the natural molecules that carry out key cellular functions within the body, are the building blocks of all diseases. Characterizing proteins can reveal the mechanisms of a disease, ...

This fully updated volume explores a wide array of new and state-of-the-art tools and resources for protein function prediction. Beginning with in-depth overviews of essential underlying computational ...

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...
