Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

A new meta-analysis of decades of research suggests that Earth's earliest proteins could fold into complex, functional shapes despite having access to only about half of today’s amino acids. Conducted ...

How did the earliest life on Earth build complex biological machinery with so few tools? A new study explores how the ...

The 2024 Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for their work on understanding the structure of proteins, which play vital roles in all living ...
