When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...
Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...
Today (September 21), the Lasker Foundation announced this year’s award winners. John Jumper, a computational biologist at DeepMind, and Demis Hassabis, cofounder and CEO at DeepMind, were awarded the ...
Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM recently published findings in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein ...
Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Cancer Research Institute at Kanazawa University have ...
It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...
MIT chemists used NMR spectroscopy to reveal the disordered “fuzzy coat” surrounding Tau protein fibrils, offering new ...
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.
