The rapid advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming biology and opening new directions for scientific inquiry.

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

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 ...

In 2020, news headlines repeated John Moult’s words at the end of a stunning competition: Artificial intelligence had “solved” a long-standing grand challenge in biology, protein structure prediction.

OpenProtein.AI is helping biologists stay on the cutting edge of AI with a no-code platform for protein engineering.

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

A principle of DNA synthesis that has dominated biology textbooks for decades could be upended. An enzyme has been discovered ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can more accurately predict how proteins interact ...

Proteins are essential to biology, and they have to assume the correct three-dimensional structure in order to work properly. Misfolded proteins can lead to many different problems. Toxic buildups of ...
