The protein community is awash in data. As of October, the UniProt database of protein sequences had more than 44 million entries. UniProt serves as a clearinghouse for sequences. Researchers who ...

David Baker's lab at the University of Washington is announcing two major leaps in the field of AI-powered protein design.

Synthetic biology is a growing field of research that is aiming to create a new kind of organism. Engineering synthetic proteins that can perform simple cellular functions as they would in real life ...

Annotations of enzyme function provide critical starting points for generating and testing biological hypotheses, but the quality of functional annotations is hindered by uncertain assignments for ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a ...

Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.

It has been known in biology for a long time that the excited oxygen molecule singlet oxygen is the main cause of aging in cells. To counter this, nature uses an enzyme called superoxide dismutase to ...

DEAD-box proteins, which are ancient enzymes found in all forms of life, function as recycling "nanopistons." They use chemical energy to clamp down and pry open RNA strands, thereby enabling the ...

While E. coli is one of the most studied organisms, the function of 30% of proteins that make up E. coli has not yet been clearly revealed. For this, an artificial intelligence was used to discover ...

A research team at Sejong University's Plant Immunity Laboratory, led by Professor Nam-Soo Jwa, has uncovered an important ...
