Progress will come from systems that can combine language understanding with explicit spatial and structural reasoning.

Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was recently granted to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper, renowned for their pioneering works in protein design.

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. AlphaFold 3 uses the same method as AI image generators to predict how different molecules fit together.

The team behind DeepMind’s protein structure prediction software AlphaFold announced Oct. 31 that it is expanding its model beyond proteins. Ligands, nucleic acids, and post-translational ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

Over the past decade, structural biology has been profoundly transformed by advances in computational power, algorithmic ...
