Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

The Baker lab at the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington School of Medicine continues to drive innovation in AI-driven advances for protein design. This time, the team used ...

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that ...

They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers to sophisticated ...

Researchers have used computational models to understand what drives the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, a key culprit in the development of Parkinson's disease. Researchers have used ...

Traditional analog ELISA readout systems need great volumes, which inevitably dilute reaction products, adding the requirement of millions of enzyme labels to develop signals that can be detected with ...

Researchers have trained an AI process to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Therefore, they derived a chemical language model -- a kind of ChatGPT for molecules. Following ...

An artificial intelligence system can now determine not only how proteins fold but also how they interact with other proteins, drug molecules or DNA. Biochemists and pharmaceutical researchers say the ...

For a memory to be consolidated long term, specific synapses connecting neurons must be strengthened, which requires the presence of certain proteins. Yet, some of these proteins and their mRNAs have ...
