Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Many of the most promising medicines under development are proteins, often antibodies, to help patients fight disease. These proteins must be purified as part of the manufacturing process — a task ...

Remember when predicting protein shapes using AI was the breakthrough of the year? That’s old news. Having solved nearly all protein structures known to biology, AI is now turning to a new challenge: ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed an artificial intelligence system that can create proteins not found in nature using generative diffusion, the same technology behind popular ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Lateral diffusion coefficients of fluorescently labeled lipids and integral membrane proteins were determined in the membranes of normal and ...

Two groups have announced powerful new generative models that can design new proteins on demand not seen in nature. The explosion in text-to-image AI models like OpenAI’s DALL-E 2—programs trained to ...

In biology, the binding of cellular proteins to molecules called ligands produces myriad functions essential for life, ...
