Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

At a biennial challenge where participants must blindly predict the structure of 100 proteins based on their amino acid sequences, a system developed by DeepMind captured researchers’ attention when ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

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.

It is now relatively trivial to determine the order of amino acids in a protein. Figuring out how that order translates to a complicated three-dimensional structure that performs a specific function, ...

Proteins, we hear you loud and clear. A group of researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) devised an artificial-intelligence (AI)-based approach to translate each of the 20 amino ...

The function of a protein is usually determined by the ligands that it binds to. The 3D structure of the binding groove or pocket can be compared to other proteins and similar residues used to make ...

is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. AI research lab DeepMind has created the most comprehensive map of human proteins to date using artificial ...
