Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...

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 ...

UCLA researchers found that the buildup of a key structural protein inside fruit flies’ neurons can drive aging – and that disrupting its structure may reverse aging.

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and collaborators at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Columbia ...

For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

Physical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell signaling and growth to immune responses, so the ability to control these interactions is of great interest to biologists.

Illustration showing how integrating protein three-dimensional structures with artificial intelligence algorithms can predict synergistic or antagonistic effects of drug combinations, guiding safer ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack its genetic material into new viral particles.

The chains of amino acids that make up proteins are critical to every form of life. The complex ways that these proteins fold ...

Susan Lois Hamilton, chair of the Department of Integrated Physiology, received her Ph.D. in biophysics from the University ...
