In most people, the lung-infecting pathogens known as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) trigger mild cold-like symptoms. But in infants and seniors, these viruses can ...

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 ...

“Imagine a future in which you can design enzymes - natures catalysts – for your specific application at the push of button”, says Gustav Oberdorfer who headed the ERC Starting Grant project ...

A recent study has provided the first side-by-side comparison of how three major COVID-19 vaccine types differ in triggering immune responses and sustaining protection, according to an analysis ...

A new storage technique can keep protein-based drugs and vaccines stable without keeping them cold. The discovery, led by researchers at Penn State, could eliminate the need for refrigeration for ...

In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...
