The database of 200 million protein-structure predictions now includes homodimers, adding new biological relevance.

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Advanced proteomics and AI reveal blood protein changes, offering insights into early Alzheimer's detection and differentiation from mild cognitive impairment.

In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Scientists develop a blood test that detects Alzheimer’s by measuring protein structural changes rather than protein quantity.

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

Scientists have developed a new blood test that could spot Alzheimer’s earlier by detecting hidden changes in how proteins fold in the bloodstream.

Alzheimer's disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Current tests often measure the levels of two proteins-amyloid beta (Aβ) and ...
