With the advent of AI-powered protein design tools, protein-based therapeutics may no longer be constrained by the limits imposed by natural selection. Protein-based therapeutics have been ...

Many of the food industry’s most persistent problems exist not in the realm of business and economics – scaling, costs of materials and the like – but in nature itself. Crops, which the food industry ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only ...

Adam Broerman, a graduate student in the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design, studies an engineered protein that can turn off protein interactions. (IPD Photo / Ian Haydon) The ...

It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...

A protein engineered by University of Washington scientists wraps around its target. (Institute for Protein Design Image) The wiggly targets known to scientists as “intrinsically disordered proteins” ...

MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Asymchem (stock code: 002821.SZ/6821.HK), a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has created an artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Two projects at the University of California, Davis, that use artificial intelligence to design and engineer proteins for industrial and health applications have been funded by the U.S. National ...

Biophysicists have elucidated why unexpected structures can sometimes arise during protein design. Artificially designed proteins are usually based on building blocks that obey strict rules of ...
