"A protein must fold properly to become an enzyme or signaling molecule or whatever its function may be -; all the many things that proteins do in our bodies," said University of Illinois Urbana ...

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.

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison introduced a deep learning ...

For those fuzzy on the details, here’s a progressive timeline that led to this monumental achievement. 1972: Anfinsen Presents the Protein-Folding Problem In science, it is often hard to pinpoint when ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions.

This manuscript introduces a useful protein-stability-based fitness model for simulating protein evolution and unifying non-neutral models of molecular evolution with phylogenetic models. The model is ...

On Protein Folding One paragraph in this story1 contains confusing terminology. The use of the term nitrogen-hydrogen bond for amide-hydrogen is a simplification too far. "Hydrogen bonds" in proteins ...

Former Meta researchers who developed an AI language model for biology have raised $40 million to build new biological LLMs that can help develop everything from cancer-fighting programmable cells ...
