For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based ...

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

Proteins Mosaic Q is a global citizen-science initiative that invites volunteers to help confirm a newly identified structural pattern in the three-dimensional architecture of proteins. The project ...

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 new citizen-science project is investigating a possible universal structural pattern in protein 3D architecture; The pattern involves amino acids clustering by chemical type int ...

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, ...

Advanced proteomics and AI reveal blood protein changes, offering insights into early Alzheimer's detection and ...
