Protein folding raises some of biology's greatest theoretical challenges. It also lies at the root of many diseases. For example, the fundamental question of whether a protein's final tertiary ...

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 ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded proteins ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the scientific landscape, offering fantastic solutions to some of the most pressing global challenges. From combating climate change to transforming ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...
