This fuzzy coat surrounds a rigid inner core that is made from folded protein strands known as beta sheets. Hong and her ...

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 ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

MIT chemists used NMR spectroscopy to reveal the disordered “fuzzy coat” surrounding Tau protein fibrils, offering new ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play a significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their ...
