A new statistical model demonstrates the ability to correctly predict the folding mechanisms for both small and large proteins. The function of a protein is determined by its structure. From the rigid ...

Scientists have developed photoresponsive supramolecular polymers that can undergo both intrachain folding and interchain aggregation. The material properties of polymers are determined by the ...

The chains of amino acids that make up proteins are critical to every form of life. The complex ways that these proteins fold and interact has fascinated researchers for decades. Exactly how a protein ...

Scientists at Northwestern, and Case Western Reserve universities have developed the first polymer-based therapeutic for the genetic disorder Huntington’s disease, an incurable neurodegenerative ...

An international team led by Einstein Professor Cecilia Clementi in the Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin introduces a breakthrough in protein simulation. The study, published in the ...

In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific functions, such as catalysis, molecule transport, or DNA repair. To perform ...

Google DeepMind’s work with AlphaFold has been nothing short of a miracle, but it is computationally expensive. With that in mind, Apple researchers set off to develop an alternative method to use AI ...

Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...

In the past few years, huge advances have been made in predicting protein structures using artificial intelligence. But the reverse problem—taking a protein shape and then predicting how to build it ...
