Last year, Alphabet’s DeepMind released an open source database of the 3D structures of hundreds of thousands of proteins, including all 20,000 known proteins in the human body. Now, this AlphaFold ...

In 2022, a study revealed that about 800 papers published in crystallography and exotic-chemistry journals originated from a paper mill. At the time, popular scientific sleuth David Bimler noted in ...

The U.S. National Committee for Crystallography (USNC/Cr) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provided an online workshop series for students and researchers on the use, ...

Sometimes a website doesn’t need flourishes, a fancy page design, or beautiful graphics to be an online gold mine. Perhaps no group of scientists can relate to frills-free form and function than ...

And it’s giving the data away for free, which could spur new scientific discoveries. DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science.

There’s certainly no shortage of structural biology data today, but that doesn’t make it easy to use. Between technical advances and high-throughput structural genomics, structure databases are ...
