Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the scientific landscape, offering fantastic solutions to some of the most pressing global challenges. From combating climate change to transforming ...

FCS provides critical advantages in proteomics, enabling non-destructive analysis of molecular dynamics and protein ...

Although proteins are composed out of only a small number of distinct amino acids, this deceptive simplicity quickly vanishes when considering the many possible sequences across a protein, not to ...

The proteins found in nature represent only a tiny fraction of the nearly limitless protein structures that could theoretically exist. By designing proteins de novo—from scratch—scientists can more ...

The ability to alter proteins to refine control over binding affinity and specificity can create tailored therapeutics with reduced side effects, highly sensitive diagnostic tools, efficient ...

With the advent of AI-powered protein design tools, protein-based therapeutics may no longer be constrained by the limits imposed by natural selection. Protein-based therapeutics have been ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Generative artificial intelligence has entered a new frontier of fundamental biology: helping scientists to better understand proteins, the workhorses of living cells. Scientists have developed two ...

Uniform protein labeling in intact tissues is a challenge. An approach that allows antibodies to seep within organs could label proteins in millions of cells. Conventional protein-tagging methods, ...
