Unraveling structure and function relationships in synthetic cell receptors
Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function.
AI system predicts protein fragments that can bind to or inhibit a target
All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...
New AI model deciphers the code in proteins that tells them where to go
Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each ...
Bacterial species study challenges assumption that structural similarity predicts protein behavior
A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions ...

Some proteins find their 'soulmate' at birth
Once the protein is formed, interactions between the amino acids induce the chain to fold onto itself and adopt a specific structure. While some proteins function independently, many must assemble ...

AI model deciphers protein code that tells them where to go
AlphaFold, an AI tool, predicts protein structure from amino acid sequences. MIT researchers, led by Professor Richard Young, have developed ProtGPS, a model that predicts where proteins localize ...
