A new artificial intelligence-driven pipeline developed in a collaborative research combines protein structure prediction, ...

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 ...

A paper published in Cell highlights how researchers have leveraged AI-based computational protein design to create a novel synthetic ligand that activates the Notch signaling pathway, a key driver in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Proteins are biology’s molecular machines. They’re our bodies’ construction workers—making muscle, bone, and brain; regulators—keeping systems in check; and local internet—responsible for the ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

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 ...

Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, especially those equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T cells), ...
