Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a regular basis, ensuring scientists can work with the most current ...

Proteins are key to all cellular processes and their structure is important in understanding their function and evolution. Sequence-based predictions of protein structures have increased in accuracy 1 ...

The U.S. National Committee for Crystallography (USNC/Cr) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provided an online workshop series for students and researchers on the use, ...

The tectonic shift that has occurred in structural and molecular biology thanks to the abundance of high-quality protein 3D structure models calls for a new outlook on protein structures as a source ...

Marcelo Sousa, a biochemist at the University of Colorado Boulder, had spent ten years trying to crack a particularly tricky puzzle. Sousa and his team had collected reams of experimental data on a ...

Sometimes a website doesn’t need flourishes, a fancy page design, or beautiful graphics to be an online gold mine. Perhaps no group of scientists can relate to frills-free form and function than ...

And it’s giving the data away for free, which could spur new scientific discoveries. DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science.

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...

A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine learning algorithm, ShotgunCSP, that enables fast and accurate prediction of ...
