Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a regular basis, ensuring scientists can work with the most current ...

In 2022, a study revealed that about 800 papers published in crystallography and exotic-chemistry journals originated from a paper mill. At the time, popular scientific sleuth David Bimler noted in ...

Proteins are key to all cellular processes and their structure is important in understanding their function and evolution. Sequence-based predictions of protein structures have increased in accuracy 1 ...

Harnessing the power of AI, a research team at the MRC-University of Glasgow Center for Virus Research has launched Viro3D—the most comprehensive database of human and animal virus protein structure ...

And it’s giving the data away for free, which could spur new scientific discoveries. DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science.

The Orthoherpesviridae family comprises alpha-, beta-, and gammaherpesviruses containing nine human herpesviruses (see Table 1 for virus abbreviations and their respective subfamilies). These are ...

Any project, supported or not by a committee, that is currently being worked on or is considered active, and will have an end date.

Sometimes a website doesn’t need flourishes, a fancy page design, or beautiful graphics to be an online gold mine. Perhaps no group of scientists can relate to frills-free form and function than ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

There’s certainly no shortage of structural biology data today, but that doesn’t make it easy to use. Between technical advances and high-throughput structural genomics, structure databases are ...
