In 2020, news headlines repeated John Moult’s words at the end of a stunning competition: Artificial intelligence had “solved” a long-standing grand challenge in biology, protein structure prediction.

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

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 ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Biotech advances from UT’s new Deep Proteins group are changing the game with help from artificial intelligence. Researchers study the three dimensional structures of molecules on a wall-sized video ...

Google DeepMind, the artificial intelligence company behind the popular AlphaFold tool, has published the next generation of the application’s protein structure prediction software. The new tool can ...

Proteins need to fold into specific shapes to perform their functions in cells, but they occasionally misfold, which can ...
