Protein language models are artificial intelligence tools which help engineer proteins with useful properties, including ...

Trying to untangle a knot in a mess of strings can be frustrating and time-consuming. But not so for molecular ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Researchers discover a unique two-component molecular motor that uses a kind of renewable chemical energy to pull vesicles toward membrane-bound organelles. Cells have a fascinating feature to neatly ...

The first components of a molecular engine – self-assembling axles and rotors made of specially designed proteins – have been created entirely from scratch. “We are starting very simply,” says Alexis ...

Cells have a fascinating feature to neatly organize their interior by using tiny protein machines called molecular motors that generate directed movements. Most of them use a common type of fuel, a ...
