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 ...

The protein 'MIPS' changes its internal structure when it becomes active. Its disordered active centre becomes a defined structure with special functions. The protein plays a key role in the ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

Predicting which proteins bind to each other, or protein-protein interactions, has been a challenge for methods based in computational biology. One of the reasons is primarily due to the vast ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. Using computers to carry out protein design and for predicting protein structures are two sides of the same coin. They are ...
