As part of a comparative international study, researchers have successfully tested and validated a method of investigating dynamic protein structures. As part of a comparative international study, ...

Scientists captured clear images of biomolecules in single live cells in water for the first time using infrared (IR) transmission imaging. The IR technique enables researchers to measure the mass of ...

If you were to use infrared (IR) transmission microscopy, you would appreciate its chemical quantification abilities—unless your object of study was a hydrated cell. In that case, you might complain ...

The team behind DeepMind’s protein structure prediction software AlphaFold announced Oct. 31 that it is expanding its model beyond proteins. Ligands, nucleic acids, and post-translational ...

For decades, scientists have relied on structure to understand protein function. Tools like AlphaFold have revolutionized how researchers predict and design folded proteins, allowing for new ...

Proteins are social creatures. They’re also chameleons. Depending on a cell’s needs, they rapidly transform in structure and grab onto other biomolecules in an intricate dance. It’s not molecular ...
