Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

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, ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

Artificial intelligence has solved one of biology’s most stubborn mysteries: how proteins fold into their intricate three-dimensional shapes. But as the field shifts from prediction to application, a ...

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 ...

FGF basic is a member of the FGF family, which includes at least 23 related mitogenic proteins sharing 35–60% amino acid conservation. Unlike most other FGFs, FGF acidic and FGF basic lack signal ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their results.
