Why It Matters: To deal with today's air quality issues and minimize future problems, scientists need to accurately predict the structure and behavior of the different types of particles involved. (pnnl.gov)
When University of Washington biochemist David Baker needed help predicting the structure of proteins, he did not turn to his colleagues. (discovermagazine.com)
In its first phase, the money was distributed between nine structural - biology research consortia, each of which would go on to produce dozens of protein structures per year — with the lofty goal of eventually predicting structures for most of the amino - acid sequences possible in nature.
