A study by Brazilian scientists shows that a by-product of industrial sunflower oil extraction can be used to produce ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

In a preprint posted on bioRxiv, Profluent introduces a new method which now incorporates structural and functional context to protein language models for conditioned design. The approach, termed ...

De novo protein design. In 2024, David Baker won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design and the prize was shared with Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper for protein structure ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought.

Traditionally, high-protein food and drink makers have leant heavily on whey, a byproduct of the cheese and yogurt-making process. But as consumer demand evolves, innovators are exploring new ...

New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, Ph.D., reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

Scientists have developed a technique that aligns stem cells into a single sheet, resulting in a marked increase in the secretion of signaling proteins which help repair tissue and regulate the immune ...

Researchers created burgers from sunflower flour that offer a tasty, nutritious, and eco-friendly meat alternative.

“We are the first to design a functional enzyme using only text,” Fajie Yuan, ... Compared to sequences, protein structure—the final 3D shape—is easier for the algorithm to generate and decipher. Then ...
