Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based ...

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 ...

Proteins Mosaic Q is a global citizen-science initiative that invites volunteers to help confirm a newly identified structural pattern in the three-dimensional architecture of proteins. The project ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

A new citizen-science project is investigating a possible universal structural pattern in protein 3D architecture; The pattern involves amino acids clustering by chemical type int ...

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 ...
