There are many potential causes of infertility, and it can be challenging to pin down just what the problem is when a couple ...

The study focused on the sperm's flagellum, or tail, a whip-like structure whose motion propels the sperm forward.

Most well-studied proteins are folded, meaning they have a defined three-dimensional shape that helps determine each ...

The world of protein engineering just took a giant leap forward. A team in China has developed a method that makes designing ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have transformed protein structure biology from a data-limited discipline into a data-driven frontier of ...

Scientists demonstrate the influence of nanoparticles and surrounding ions on the formation of beta-sheet structure in amyloid beta proteins. Protein function and activity is determined by both their ...

A team of researchers based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the United States) has tried to shed light on the ...
