Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

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, ...

Proteins are life’s molecular machines, built from amino acids whose sequences and side chains dictate their structure and function. From essential dietary amino acids to complex folding patterns, ...
