Protein folding is a process by which a polypeptide chain folds to become a biologically active protein in its native 3D structure. Protein structure is crucial to its function. Folded proteins are ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the six years since it was acquired by Google, DeepMind has been rattling through a long list of artificial intelligence milestones. It has outplayed Go champions, bested professional StarCraft ...

Newly developed KITA-spectroscopy (Kinetic Terahertz Absorption Spectroscopy) was applied to protein folding with a resolution of one picture per millisecond and combined with other biophysical ...

When he wasn’t playing the viola or sailing around the Chesapeake Bay during the early 1950s, National Institutes of Health scientist Christian Anfinsen was hard at work in the lab trying to ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...

Fast folding. A quantum approach solves the riddle at the heart of a range of biological processes. (Credit: iStock/sergunt) The study of protein folding is fundamental in biophysics because it is ...

(Nanowerk News) Water is no passive spectator of biological processes; it is an active participant. Protein folding is thus a self-organized process in which the actions of the solvent play a key role ...
