Structural Biology – News and Features

A new genomic test has been developed to accurately predict whether a patient’s cancer will resist common chemotherapy treatments.

Water molecules represent a powerful but largely underappreciated foothold in drug binding studies. See how ColdBrew can provide accurate water displacement predictions for protein structures, providing a clearer landscape for drug discovery.

Researchers at the University of Cologne have identified the key mitochondrial protein AIFM1 as a central coordinator of cellular energy production.

To reveal the science behind the protein–nanoparticle interaction and its implications for human health, a team of researchers conducted a series of spectroscopy-based experiments.

Scientists have recreated an ancient golden silk fiber used historically by emperors and popes. The recreation could open the door to more sustainable, dye-free fabrics and materials.

A complex signaling process involving paxillin, a focal adhesion protein, may be vulnerable to cancer therapy despite its fluid state.

New research provides insights into how a sophisticated mechanism for cell division contributed to the evolution of multicellular life.

Scientists have created an AI approach that could make designing proteins for new medicines easier. This new AI approach outperforms current methods for "inverse protein folding" – a critical part of the process of creating new proteins.

The next generation of batteries may get a lifespan boost, thanks to a new imaging technique that can provide high-resolution images of lithium-metal batteries as they charge.

Two key protein structures in the body are being visualized for the first time, thanks in part to the latest technology — potentially opening the door for better-designed therapeutics.
