Mitochondria are cellular organelles that play an important role in making ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular fuel ...

A new study led by Rice University’s Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Research shows 60% of missense mutations destabilize proteins, linking protein folding to genetic diseases, including cataracts and neurological disorders.

Half the prize goes to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper from Google DeepMind for using AI to solve protein folding, and the other to David Baker for tools to help design new proteins.
