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

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Scientists develop a blood test that detects Alzheimer’s by measuring protein structural changes rather than protein quantity.
