For biologists who study the structure of proteins, the recent history of their field is divided into two epochs: before CASP14, the 14th biennial round of the Critical Assessment of Protein Structure ...

Rose TTAFold can predict a protein structure in as little as ten minutes on a gaming computer. (Institute for Protein Design Image) The lab of David Baker at the University of Washington’s Institute ...

In 2022 almost 735 million people, 9.2% of the global population, were undernourished 1 and as we are entering the second quarter of this century, the world faces a formidable task of feeding a ...

Researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design have engineered larger, virus-like protein cages to one day deliver larger genetic payloads.

Alt-protein companies scaling their fermentation processes beyond the lab face numerous challenges that require them to think through production processes, raw ingredients, and the design of a ...

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram ...

Protein engineering has nearly limitless applications across chemistry, energy and medicine, but creating new proteins with improved or novel functions remains slow, labor-intensive and inefficient.

Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important cellular task, from ferrying messages to controlling which genes are turned on or off. And in order for proteins to perform ...

One of the challenges for alternative proteins, particularly plant-based, is developing a product that mimics the taste of traditional meat. Many startups have taken on this challenge. But the ...

An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and villi in the intestine using a contact protein printing technique. This model ...
