Protein folding has been an ongoing problem for researchers since 1972. Christian Anfinsen speculated in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech in that year that the three-dimensional structure of a ...

Newly synthesized proteins fold into their three-dimensional structures with the help of a series of molecular chaperones and folding catalysts (not shown). Correctly folded proteins are then ...

"A protein must fold properly to become an enzyme or signaling molecule or whatever its function may be -; all the many things that proteins do in our bodies," said University of Illinois Urbana ...

Get it wrong with your laundry and the result can be a crumpled, wrinkled mess of fabric, but when folding fails among the approximately 7,000 proteins with an origami-like complexity that ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison introduced a deep learning ...

HHMI researchers bring the arcane world of protein folding to the online gaming arena with the launch of “Foldit.” Multiplayer online gaming brings to mind fabulously successful titles, such as “World ...

The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has selected Jeffery W. Kelly, PhD, from Scripps Research, to receive the 12th ...

On Protein Folding One paragraph in this story1 contains confusing terminology. The use of the term nitrogen-hydrogen bond for amide-hydrogen is a simplification too far. "Hydrogen bonds" in proteins ...

The hunt is on, to create a real-life Holodeck, and IDEO's designers just got a spin inside one of the leading offerings: The iCube, created by EON Reality. It is a room, measuring 10 feet by 10 ...
