AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...

For the field of drug development, hitting the right target with atomic precision to achieve therapeutic effect remains the core challenge. While traditional R&D pipelines are dependent on ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Large-scale protein and gene profiling have massively expanded the landscape of cancer-associated proteins and gene mutations, but it has been difficult to discern whether they play an active role in ...

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 ...

Bioluminescence is the natural chemical process of light creation in some living creatures that makes fireflies flicker and some jellyfish glow. Scientists have long been interested in borrowing the ...

Verley, a French biotech company (previously Bon Vivant) has announced the launch of what it claims is a ‘world-first’ portfolio of functional, precision-fermented dairy proteins. The proteins are ...
