Chemists have synthesized so-called heteroatom-substituted cage-like 3D molecules. The innovative structures are created by precisely inserting a triatomic unit into the strained ring of a reaction ...

Building the complex 3D molecules needed for new medicines has always been a bit like assembling a puzzle with pieces that keep trying to flip over. Now, chemists at Scripps Research have found a way ...

In their quest to discover effective new medicines, scientists search for drug-like molecules that can attach to disease-causing proteins and change their functionality. It is crucial that they know ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help identify molecules that could serve as new drugs for mental health disorders. AI can be used to predict the three-dimensional structures of important receptors ...

A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers have developed a new class of chemical building blocks that simply ...

Gero, a biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics for aging and chronic diseases, has released ProtoBind-Diff, a novel masked diffusion language model that generates drug-like molecules for ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. AlphaFold 3 uses the same method as AI image generators to predict how different molecules fit together.

It is a detailed view of the brain like never seen before. In a significant technological leap, University of Florida researchers have created a powerful new computational and artificial intelligence ...

The radical rebound. Computational visualization showing the carbon-centered radical (orange spin density) binding to the nickel-centered radical (blue spin density). Two perspectives are shown. LA ...
