The new open-source atlas, generated by an AI tool called ESMFold2, vastly increases the known protein universe.

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 ...

H5_fold-0_Chantal, H5_fold-0_Elsa, H6_fold-C_Rei, H6_fold-Z_Gogy, H6_fold-U_Nomur, and H7_fold-K_Mussoc are presented. For each de novo designed protein, the computational model is shown on the left, ...

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 ...

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,” ...

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

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, ...

The latest update to the ESM protein language model series supports binder design and protein function mapping for therapeutic discovery.

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

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...
