Wildfire smoke is teeming with them. Researchers have employed them to develop energy-dense biofuels like rocket, marine, and jet fuels. Scientists have engineered rice paddies that interact ...

A never-before-seen folding structure may have enabled early molecular evolution and the diversification of proteins Figure 1: A computer illustration showing the structure of a molecule of RNA ...

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

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) predictions produce an explosion of three-dimensional protein structure data, a bottleneck is growing as interpretation fails to keep up with the deluge. In this ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based alternatives, proteins encompass a large class of complex biomolecules whose ...
