A new gene-silencing tool shows promise as a future therapy against prion diseases and paves the way for new approaches to treating disease.

The protein Orco is essential for smell neuron function and development in ants, fostering the insects’ social behavior, researchers report.

Researchers created a water-soluble version of an important bacterial enzyme, which can now be used in drug screens to identify new antibiotics.

AI has learned the ins and outs of proteins. Gene editing gives scientists control of life’s molecular machinery. Together they could lead to a revolution in biotechnology.

An atlas of human protein kinases enables scientists to map cell signaling pathways with unprecedented speed and detail.

Science has a need to verify results, but DeepMind’s protein prediction tool doesn’t work this way.

Researchers can create ‘single-cell radios’ using bacterial proteins to transmit the invisible activities within cells.

Scientists are discovering viral genetic sequences in the wild faster than they can analyze them. A kind of ChatGPT for proteins can help make sense of all that data.

The AI model can predict structures for a vast array of the proteins used by living organisms.

MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
