10x Science, a biotech startup founded in late 2025, has secured $4.8 million in seed funding to advance AI-driven protein characterization. The company aims to address a critical bottleneck in drug ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

Recently, SandboxAQ launched what it claims is the largest publicly available dataset of protein-ligand pairs with annotated experimental binding potency data. According to the company, the ...

University of Chicago alum John Jumper was awarded a share of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Oct. 9 for developing an AI model that predicts the complex folded structures of proteins. The Royal ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...

For structural biologists, the molecular mapping of proteins is critical to figuring out their structure and function. But doing so takes patience and persistence. X-ray crystallography involves ...

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 ...

A new meta-analysis of decades of research suggests that Earth's earliest proteins could fold into complex, functional shapes despite having access to only about half of today’s amino acids. Conducted ...

Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of ...
