A team of researchers has developed a method that could transform the field of protein engineering. The new approach, called AI-informed Constraints for protein Engineering (AiCE), enables rapid and ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is for computational protein design and structure prediction. David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper took home the prize for their work using artificial ...

New research represents a notable step forward in designing enzymes from scratch. With their approach, the authors designed an enzyme that uses a covalent intermediate to catalyze a two-step reaction, ...

Nanopores (otherwise known as transmembrane β-barrel pores (TMBs)) are perhaps best known for their role in the sequencing of nucleic acids—both DNA and RNA. They can also be used to sequence peptides ...

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), ...

In a remarkable leap forward for synthetic biology, the AI model ESM3, developed by Evolutionary Scale, has achieved a significant milestone. By simulating half a billion years of evolutionary ...
