We may be living in the age of protein, according to our friends at Grub Street, but somehow most protein bars remain more ...

As they are being synthesized, these nascent proteins simultaneously attempt to fold while still associated with their parent ribosome, referred to as co-translational protein folding ...

Malaria remains a persistent public health burden, with Plasmodium falciparum causing the most dangerous form of malaria and ...

By looking for missteps in the intricate process of folding proteins, a project at Purdue University is paving the way for a new generation of therapeutics that strike at the root of these diseases.

Researchers are now taking a closer look at a key step in this process and are investigating the effects of transient oxygen starvation on protein folding in plants. Proteins often consist of ...

In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting ...

What is protein folding? It is the process by which proteins acquire their functional, preordained, three-dimensional structure after they emerge, as linear polymers of amino acids, from the ribosome.

Keith Willison at Imperial College London says that AlphaFold has unarguably “changed the world” of biological research, but that there are still problems to be solved in protein folding.

AP Photo/Alastair Grant In 2016, Hassabis shifted DeepMind’s focus to a new challenge: the protein-folding problem. Under the leadership of John Jumper, a chemist with a background in protein science, ...

"Now that we know the properties of protein cores under typical folding conditions, it's possible that protein core packing does not need to stop at 55%," said Alex Grigas, a Ph.D. candidate in O ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA ...
