Flow cytometry detects cells or particles in suspension by separating them in a narrow, rapidly flowing stream of liquid. The sample is passed through a laser, which detects properties such as size, ...

Proteins have a remarkable ability to carry out complex molecular processes with high efficiency and precision, characteristics that make them ideal for use in medicine and industry. Protein ...

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

Therapeutic protein design is evolving—and it is doing so in more than one sense of that word. Protein design is being guided by artificial intelligence (AI), which drug developers are using to ...

A platform to engineer enzymes responsible for the formation of amide bonds as an effort toward developing biocatalysts for green chemistry. Amide bonds — a type of chemical bond formed between a ...

Proteins are life's molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are built from 20 different types of amino acid molecules, so even a small protein ...

It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...

In a remarkable leap forward for synthetic biology, the AI model ESM3, developed by Evolutionary Scale, has achieved a significant milestone. By simulating half a billion years of evolutionary ...

Proteins, the natural molecules that carry out key cellular functions within the body, are the building blocks of all diseases. Characterizing proteins can reveal the mechanisms of a disease, ...

A recent scientific breakthrough has emerged from the work of researchers aiming to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The study focuses on the design and development of a novel ...

Proteins catalyze life by changing shape when they interact with other molecules. The result is a muscle twitching, the perception of light, or a bit of energy extracted from food. But this crucial ...
