Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug ...

Scientists just made the first ever observed organism with fewer than 20 amino acids in its make-up, and it was made possible ...

Protein language models are artificial intelligence tools which help engineer proteins with useful properties, including ...

Artificial intelligence is moving protein science beyond structure prediction into the era of custom design, enabling the creation of novel enzymes, therapeutics, and materials. Advances such as ...

It’s hard to imagine that a snail could kill a person, but a particularly venomous group of marine molluscs called cone ...

AI systems have recently had a lot of success in one key aspect of biology: the relationship between a protein’s structure and its function. These efforts have included the ability to predict the ...

A new AI model is opening the black box of the leading artificial intelligence tool for predicting how proteins will interact with small molecules, such as drugs. The model, OpenFold3, which launched ...

AI is expanding our protein universe. Thanks to generative AI, it’s now possible to design proteins never before seen in nature at breakneck speed. Some are extremely complex; others can tag onto DNA ...

On Thursday, a team of researchers led by Microsoft announced that they had discovered, and possibly patched, what they’re terming a biological zero-day—an unrecognized security hole in a system that ...

A milestone in biology has been achieved thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning and applied physics. A new peer-reviewed study by researchers affiliated with Harvard John A. Paulson ...
