AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

There’s an age-old adage in biology: structure determines function. To understand the function of the myriad proteins that perform vital jobs in a healthy body—or malfunction in a diseased ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have modified a bacterial transport system so that it can efficiently introduce large quantities of unnatural amino acids into cells, disguised as a kind of Trojan horse.

MIT scientists have found that an amino acid called cysteine can help the gut heal itself. In mouse studies, a cysteine-rich diet activated immune cells that release a molecule speeding up tissue ...
