Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

For structural biologists, the molecular mapping of proteins is critical to figuring out their structure and function. But doing so takes patience and persistence. X-ray crystallography involves ...

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 ...

Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of ...

Predicting protein structures from the amino acid sequences helps scientists to understand how proteins interact with other molecules, which is crucial for developing new drugs and therapies.

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, ...
