Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that draws logical inferences about the function of unknown proteins promises to help scientists unravel the inner workings of the cell. A new artificial ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Weizmann Institute, in collaboration with ...

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

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, ...

A team of researchers describes the mechanism by which the MEC-2 protein condensates of the touch receptor neurons transition from fluid to solid-like states, switching their role in the transmission ...

How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...
