models and simulations

New research identifies the benefits of "simple models" and hope that they can be used for bio-inspired designs

For the first time, complex computer simulations have become so powerful that wear and friction of real materials can be simulated on an atomic scale

The X-ray measurements mark an important first step in the researchers' ultimate goal of building a comprehensive 3D model of the enzymatic protein

Computational models based on deep learning predict the activities of SpCas9 variants and provide a useful guide for selecting the most appropriate one

Since the flybys by the Voyager and Galileo spacecraft, scientists have held that the surface crust floats on a subsurface ocean

The protein structure facilitates viral entry into host cells making it a key target for vaccine and antiviral drug development, according to the researchers

Shrinkage due to COVID-19 may provide case in point

Energy constraints lead to novel ways of efficient, at-a-distance communication

Scientists found that baloxavir dramatically reduced the time someone with the flu is contagious for, suggesting a similar drug should be prioritized for COVID-19 treatment

A new web resource provides scientists an easy way to see the progress of the structural biology community in studying the protein structures of SARS-CoV-2
