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 ...

Therapeutic protein design is evolving—and it is doing so in more than one sense of that word. Protein design is being guided by artificial intelligence (AI), which drug developers are using to ...

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 ...

A new platform enables fast, scalable protein evolution - opening the door to new therapies and diagnostics, and to predicting resistance mutations across many disease areas. (Nanowerk News) In ...

The coronavirus genome is 30,000 letters long, encoding more than two dozen different proteins that enable the virus to hijack our cells. Of these, spike gets all the glory and infamy; it is the ...

The race to solve every protein structure just welcomed another tech giant: Meta AI. A research offshoot of Meta, known for Facebook and Instagram, the team came onto the protein shape prediction ...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that both traps heat and destroys ozone, reducing Earth's protection from ...

Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using AI to create enzymes that can recycle old polyester textiles into a material ...
