On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

To understand cellular processes, scientists have to study proteins, which play critical roles in virtually every aspect of biology. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and while the sequence of a ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

Last year, Alphabet’s DeepMind released an open source database of the 3D structures of hundreds of thousands of proteins, including all 20,000 known proteins in the human body. Now, this AlphaFold ...

Programs built by Google’s artificial intelligence company DeepMind have beaten humans playing chess, Go, and some Atari computer games. Biologists and computer scientists say the company has now done ...

In biology, proteins don’t go it alone. They fold up in complexes and interact with each other to get stuff done. Those interactions create challenges for scientists working to predict protein ...

The prediction of protein structure with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI–ML) is poised to transform how and when three-dimensional (3D) biostructure information is used in ...
