With the advent of AI-powered protein design tools, protein-based therapeutics may no longer be constrained by the limits imposed by natural selection. Protein-based therapeutics have been ...

Biotech advances from UT’s new Deep Proteins group are changing the game with help from artificial intelligence. Researchers study the three dimensional structures of molecules on a wall-sized video ...

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are essential for successful chromosome transmission during replication and segregation of the genome in all organisms. SMC proteins were thought ...

Metamorphic proteins—often called the "shapeshifters" of bacterial, animal, and human cells—possess a unique ability to ...

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.

The sensory receptor PIEZO1 changes shape in response to mechanical stimuli. The super high-resolution microscopy technology used in this discovery is a breakthrough in enabling protein structures to ...

Researchers are using crystallography to gain a better understanding of how proteins shapeshift. The knowledge can provide valuable insight into stopping and treating diseases. Proteins do the heavy ...
