Apple developed an alternative AI model to predict the 3D structure of proteins, and it shows promise. Here are the details.

Scientists have found a new way to predict how proteins change their shape when they function, which is important for understanding how they work in living systems. While recent artificial ...

(CREDIT: Cell) AiCE is simple to use, efficient ... In one test, researchers used inverse folding models to sample many possible amino acid sequences for a protein. They then calculated the appearance ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell's ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...

June 10, 2025 — IUSB Professor of Biochemistry Shahir Rizk talks about his new book about proteins, what they do for us, and how. To learn more about the amazing people in our communities, stay tuned ...

"The protein must backtrack in the folding process to correct the mistake, which takes time and is energetically expensive. The demonstration of this mechanism helps expand our understanding of how ...
