AlphaFold rewired science, and 5 years later it’s still evolving
AlphaFold arrived as a technical moonshot that suddenly made protein structures feel like software rather than secrets of nature, and five years on it has rewired how laboratories plan experiments, ...
“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...
James Watson, who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died at age 97. Born in Chicago in 1928, Watson made the groundbreaking discovery at just 24 years old alongside British ...
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Watson's former employer, confirmed the American scientist's death on Nov. 7 DANIEL MORDZINSKI/AFP via Getty Legendary scientist James Watson has died at the age of 97 ...
Often celebrated as a pioneer of genetics alongside Francis Crick, racist and sexist remarks tarnished his reputation in later years. James Watson was credited as the co-discoverer of the structure of ...
A mysterious red meat allergy stalks meat-loving Arkansans, but an alternative protein movement is sprouting up to offer the afflicted a new, and perhaps healthier, path forward. The red meat allergy ...
Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an important role to play in emerging energy technologies like nuclear batteries ...
We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...
A three-decade-old competition that has spawned three Nobel laureates is becoming victim to the chaos at the National Institutes of Health. The Community Wide Experiment on the Critical Assessment of ...
The Alphafold machine learning system for predicting a protein’s structure from its amino acid sequence has been adapted to make it possible to design de novo proteins that fold in a particular way ...
The proteins found in nature represent only a tiny fraction of the nearly limitless protein structures that could theoretically exist. By designing proteins de novo—from scratch—scientists can more ...
