Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...

AlphaFold, an AI tool, predicts protein structure from amino acid sequences. MIT researchers, led by Professor Richard Young, have developed ProtGPS, a model that predicts where proteins localize ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

A team from the University of Washington led by Nobel laureate David Baker is using artificial intelligence to design ...

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight segments of single-stranded, negative-sense viral RNA, which encode multiple ...

Learn how analytical methodologies can be used to identify RSV pre- and post-fusion proteins for vaccine development.

Unfortunately, there isn't an enzyme for many reactions we would sorely like to catalyze—things like digesting plastics or ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

New research uses AI to engineer enzymes with intricate active sites, expanding the possibilities for synthetic biocatalysts.

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

The most prevalent protein in the body, collagen, has long been thought to be a predictable structural element of tissues.
