AlphaFold arrived as a technical moonshot that suddenly made protein structures feel like software rather than secrets of ...

WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research ...

For large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, accuracy often means complexity. To be able to make good predictions, ChatGPT must deeply understand the concepts and features that are associated with ...

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 ...

Making biofuels is messy, inefficient and expensive. Vast quantities of crops such as maize and soyabeans must be grown, harvested and processed before their energy, accumulated slowly through natural ...

Generative artificial intelligence has entered a new frontier of fundamental biology: helping scientists to better understand proteins, the workhorses of living cells. Scientists have developed two ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has simulated half a billion years of molecular evolution to create the code for a previously unknown protein, according to a new study. The glowing protein, ...

New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the existence of a recently identified type of protein misfolding. Proteins must ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked protein that helps regulate appetite and energy use in the body. This “helper” protein supports a key system that decides whether the body burns ...
