For decades, scientists have understood proteins primarily through two defining features: their amino acid sequence and their ...

Life in the deep sea is under immense pressure—literally. Such extreme conditions can disrupt the delicate structures of ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers, including Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo, has developed a protein ...

Researchers have been elucidating the structures of complex molecules for more than 100 years using a variety of techniques.

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM have recently published findings in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to ...

A new study led by Penn State scientists revealed that proteins containing a certain type of structure are more likely to ...

In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...

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 ...
