For most of us, there is no benefit in consuming protein above the recommended level.
Master switches of cell communication, G protein-coupled receptor kinases are the target of many drugs across a range of diseases.
The gene that codes for p53 is the most frequently mutated in cancer. Researchers are targeting different parts of its complex pathway to restore its ability to stop cancer.
Enzymes significantly speed up the chemical reactions that keep you alive. Researchers are using AI to create new ones to tackle modern challenges.
People who feel lonely tend to have higher levels of five key proteins.
Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life.
Heat can do amazing things to change your hairstyle, but it comes with casualties. Many people use heat protectants, often in the form of sprays, to minimise the damage. So how do they work?
AI will feature in future Nobel prizes as scientists exploit the power of this technology for research.
The prize honors innovation at Google DeepMind and in academia. Three researchers share the award for using machine learning to predict proteins’ 3D shapes and design the molecules from scratch.
Using computers to design and predict protein structures will revolutionise biochemistry.
AI has learned the ins and outs of proteins. Gene editing gives scientists control of life’s molecular machinery. Together they could lead to a revolution in biotechnology.
Science has a need to verify results, but DeepMind’s protein prediction tool doesn’t work this way.
Researchers can create ‘single-cell radios’ using bacterial proteins to transmit the invisible activities within cells.
Scientists are discovering viral genetic sequences in the wild faster than they can analyze them. A kind of ChatGPT for proteins can help make sense of all that data.
Identifying proteins that are only present in bodily fluids when a patient has breast cancer could provide a way to screen healthy people for the disease.
Vegan foods are considered by most consumers to have no ingredients of animal origin, but they may actually contain milk proteins.
Bacteria that are resistant to phenomenal amounts of radiation are prompting us to rethink our understanding of the mechanisms underlying ageing.
Many people know someone with a genetic disease, but few understand how gene mutations work.
Tracing isotopes of carbon inside amino acid molecules has revealed the ‘metabolic fingerprints’ of how different animals store and use energy.
