AlphaFold can predict these structures without running experiments. In July 2021, researchers gained access to hundreds of thousands of these AI-predicted structures virtually overnight. Yet, to date, ...

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. RBP3 not only changes its ...

In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

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 ...

Cobra venoms are enriched with toxins of low molecular mass, known as three-finger toxins (Panel A). Some of these are neurotoxins, which bind with high affinity to the nicotinic cholinergic receptors ...
