Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding structure that helps control how genes turn on and off. Researchers at the ...

The Dietary Guidelines released this year recommend higher levels of this essential nutrient. But protein needs are personal.

Researchers developed a computer simulation that rapidly and accurately predicts how proteins shift their shapes, potentially advancing drug design and protein engineering.

Scientists reveal a hidden “wiring system” in brown fat that could help turn your body into a calorie-burning furnace.

Scientists uncover how Tuberculosis (TB) bacteria uses fats for energy, mapping a key protein and opening new paths for drug ...

Scientists have developed a novel protein evolution approach dubbed optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic, multi-state, and computational functions based on ...

Explore the mechanics of escalators in this informative video. Discover how escalators function, featuring detailed 3D animation that showcases their components and operation.

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20 100 possible variants—more combinations than atoms in the observable universe.

The Challenge: The CAFA 6 (Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation) competition requires predicting Gene Ontology (GO) terms for 224,309 proteins—a computationally intensive task demanding ...
