Researchers at Google DeepMind have developed AlphaFold 3, an AI model that can predict the structure of and interactions between biological molecules including proteins, DNA and RNA, and small ...

The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...

"For a long time, biocatalysis was considered as a field of relevance mainly to the large ... novel molecules." Diversity-oriented synthesis focuses on developing a structurally diverse library of ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains – named the Lipocone superfamily – and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today detailed a new version of its AlphaFold neural network for biologists. One of the factors that influence the behavior of a ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a novel method of delivering drugs into human cells using large biological molecules, by first encasing them ...

Capturing the structure of large molecular complexes with variable shape is an extremely difficult task. Scientists now have been able to do it - thanks to a new approach regarding an important ...

Model systems based on virus capsids have shown how large biomolecules are able to penetrate a cell nucleus. The larger the molecule, the more nuclear localization signals are needed. A new study in ...

But quantum mechanics is the foundation of everything, including in biological molecules. Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have ...
