Protein hydrophobicity is a fundamental driver of protein folding dynamics, underpinning the formation of a central hydrophobic core that stabilises the three-dimensional structure amid an aqueous ...
For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...
Membrane proteins constitute a significant fraction of cellular proteomes and play indispensable roles in signalling, transport, and metabolism. Their folding and subsequent stability are not only ...
In order to fulfill their many functions, proteins must be folded into the correct shape. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered tiny "folding factories" in cells that enable ...
Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded proteins ...
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 ...
An AI approach developed by researchers from the University of Sheffield and AstraZeneca, could make it easier to design proteins needed for new treatments. In a study published in the journal Nature ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry recognized Demis Hassabis, John Jumper and David Baker for using machine learning to tackle ...
In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The shared culprit in a slew of diseases — cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes — is molecules our cells have made incorrectly. Think of them as proteins gone wrong.
KARLSRUHE, Germany and COLLEGE PARK, Md.– Kipu Quantum and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced what they said is a record achievement: the successful solution of “the most complex known protein folding ...
