Biologists found a way to identify and study low-complexity regions of proteins. The technique allows them to analyze similarities and differences between LCRs from different species, and helps ...

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,” ...

Conserved sequence motifs within intrinsically disordered protein regions act as evolutionary units that support phase separation and membraneless organelle formation.

Proteins carry out exceptionally diverse molecular functions—even though they are all built on an unvarying polyamide backbone. How much more chemical diversity might be unlocked by editing that ...

Gero, a biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics for aging and chronic diseases, has released ProtoBind-Diff, a novel masked diffusion language model that generates drug-like molecules for ...

Life on Earth would not exist as we know it, if not for the protein molecules that enable critical processes from photosynthesis and enzymatic degradation to sight and our immune system. And like most ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered how cells can adjust their gene activity to survive when oxygen runs low ...
