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 ...

Biotech advances from UT’s new Deep Proteins group are changing the game with help from artificial intelligence. Researchers study the three dimensional structures of molecules on a wall-sized video ...

IT IS A recurring joke among chemists that the Nobel prize for chemistry is, more often than not, awarded for developments in biology. Recent examples include awards for the gene-editing tool CRISPR, ...

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper shared the Nobel prize in chemistry for work that revolutionized our understanding of protein structure. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers have made significant inroads in understanding how nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- commonly known as forever chemicals -- disrupt biomolecular structure and ...

How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, ...

In 20th-century biochemistry history of China, Szu-Chih Liu (刘思职, 1904—1983)(Fig. 1) acted as a central bridge in both academic genealogy and knowledge indigenization. Liu inherited the methodology ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...
