Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

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 ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20 100 possible variants—more combinations than atoms in the observable universe.

FtsZ and ZapA protein complex plays an important role in bacterial cell division. However, the structure of this complex was elusive. In this study, the researchers focused on the interaction of the ...

Various approaches to such protein redesign have drawbacks. Traditional methods include time-consuming trial and error efforts, and many models in the emerging field ...
