In a recent study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers developed "DeepGO-SE," a method to predict gene ontology (GO) functions from protein sequences using a large, ...

Stanford researchers have discovered a new kind of biomolecule that could play a significant role in the biology of all living things. The novel biomolecule, dubbed glycoRNA, is a small ribbon of ...

Our understanding of biological proteins does not always correlate with how common or important they are. Half of all proteins, molecules that play an integral role in cell processes, are ...

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today detailed a new version of its AlphaFold neural network for biologists. One of the factors that influence the behavior of a ...

A new study from researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) reveals that extremely simple peptides can mimic a biological process that protects ...

Scientists continue to make surprising discoveries in our own bodies. Stanford researchers have now discovered a new biomolecule hiding in plain sight, which may be common to most types of life and ...

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy? Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged in recent years as an exciting new class of materials with tremendous potential in diverse fields such as gas storage, drug delivery, ...

They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers to sophisticated ...
