The database of 200 million protein-structure predictions now includes homodimers, adding new biological relevance.

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory used artificial intelligence to analyze protein nanoribbons, pointing to ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Advanced proteomics and AI reveal blood protein changes, offering insights into early Alzheimer's detection and differentiation from mild cognitive impairment.

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

Alzheimer's disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Current tests often measure the levels of two proteins-amyloid beta (Aβ) and ...

A new type of blood test that analyses the folding of amino acids rather than their amounts may detect earliest biological ...
