Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Protein scientists could improve reproducibility and coordination across the field by rallying around a small, shared set of ...

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 ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...

How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, ...

EvoRank offers a new and tangible example of how AI may help bring disruptive change to biomedical research and biotechnology more broadly. Using the MutRank framework trained with EvoRank, Danny Diaz ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...

Cannabis has been part of human culture for thousands of years, yet the molecular machinery that gives the plant its ...

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 ...

Vatsan Raman, associate professor of biochemistry and affiliate in both bacteriology and chemical and biological engineering, led research on the evolutionary path of proteins that help control gene ...
