A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Most parts of living organisms come packaged with ribbons. The ribbons are proteins-chains of amino acids that must fold into three-dimensional structures to work properly. But when for any reason the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a computational method capable of simulating the movements of some of the ...

A milestone report proposes a new technique for modeling molecular life with computers. The advance promises new insights into the fundamental biology of a cell, as well as faster and more precise ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

This fully updated volume explores a wide array of new and state-of-the-art tools and resources for protein function prediction. Beginning with in-depth overviews of essential underlying computational ...

Dynamin assembles into a ring around the neck of a forming vesicle and utilizes GTP hydrolysis energy to constrict and sever the membrane. The simulation reveals that the dynamin ring expands (loosens ...

“Imagine a future in which you can design enzymes - natures catalysts – for your specific application at the push of button”, says Gustav Oberdorfer who headed the ERC Starting Grant project ...
