When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

A paper titled "Functional implications of unusual NOS and SONOS covalent linkages found in proteins," by Matthew D. Lloyd, Kyle S. Gregory, and K. Ravi Acharya, from the University of Bath Department ...

Proteins can form “catch-bonds” that tighten under force, much like a finger trap. Using artificial intelligence and molecular simulations, Auburn scientists uncovered how these bonds strengthen ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Proteins are vital for life, involved in virtually every biochemical process that makes life possible. They comprise one or more amino acid chains ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

AI analysis uncovers why certain protein interactions behave like a finger trap, gripping tighter the harder they’re pulled. Imagine tugging on a Chinese finger trap. The harder you pull, the tighter ...

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, ...
