This Collection invites submissions which advance our understanding of the mechanisms of protein misfolding and clearance, and interventions directed at reducing protein aggregates. Quaternery ...

Protein folding is a critical process by which linear chains of amino acids adopt specific three‐dimensional conformations essential for biological function. In recent years, studies have increasingly ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

The strategies biopharmaceutical manufacturers currently use to limit protein misfolding are complex, time-consuming, and generate low yields with only limited scalability. Covalent organic frameworks ...

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 ...

Demis Hassabis (CEO of Deep Mind) and John M. Jumper have useed artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. David Baker has learned how to master life’s building ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The shared culprit in a slew of diseases — cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes — is molecules our cells have made incorrectly. Think of them as proteins gone wrong.

Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...
