The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Manifold Bio, a platform therapeutics company pioneering direct-to-vivo drug discovery, today announced a joint study with NVIDIA to validate Proteina-Complexa, NVIDIA's generative model for protein ...

Researchers have found that peroxiredoxins, a family of antioxidant enzymes central to how cells manage oxidative stress, can assemble into a far wider variety of molecular shapes than scientists ...

Two parallel experiments in protein self-assembly produced strikingly different results, demonstrating that protein designers ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...
