The field of protein dynamics and allosteric regulation explores how proteins, far from being rigid entities, exhibit a wide range of motions that are integral to their function. These molecular ...

Protein dynamics and intrinsic disorder represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of protein structure and function. Rather than depending solely on a single stable three‐dimensional structure, ...

A newly developed generative AI model is helping researchers explore protein dynamics with increased speed. The deep learning system, called BioEmu, predicts the full range of conformations a protein ...

Kirill Alexandrov Artificial intelligence–designed “smart” proteins can be programmed to turn on when they detect a certain ...

Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of ...

A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...

UNC postdoctoral Ajit Prakash explores how G proteins function as intracellular pH sensors and how this affects cell ...

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange-mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful technique for studying protein dynamics, however its widespread application has been constrained by high sample consumption and ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...

A protein long understood to drive inflammation by producing nitric oxide has a second, previously unknown role—it physically ...
