The chains of amino acids that make up proteins are critical to every form of life. The complex ways that these proteins fold and interact has fascinated researchers for decades. Exactly how a protein ...

A new statistical model demonstrates the ability to correctly predict the folding mechanisms for both small and large proteins. The function of a protein is determined by its structure. From the rigid ...

A new machine learning model, NeCLAS, can determine whether and how a protein and nanoparticle will bind, which could revolutionize drug discovery and design processes. Researchers at the University ...

Proteins, the natural molecules that carry out key cellular functions within the body, are the building blocks of all diseases. Characterizing proteins can reveal the mechanisms of a disease, ...

A multicolored protein structure is blurred at the edges and comes into focus toward the center. Detail of a protein designed using a tool called ProteinMPNN Credit: Ian C. Haydon/UW Institute for ...

For the first time, scientists have used machine learning to create brand-new enzymes, which are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions. This is an important step in the field of protein design ...
