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 ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but ...

The most visible impact of AI seems to be in coding, but it could also be poised to disrupt other hard sciences.

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

Pranam Chatterjee, PhD, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), emphasizes that text is all you need for artificial intelligence (AI) models to effectively ...
