On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Deep learning methods have been used to augment existing energy-based physical models in 'do novo' or from-scratch computational protein design, resulting in a 10-fold increase in success rates ...

Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

The AI systems designing new proteins are getting remarkably good at their jobs. They generate novel molecular structures ...

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 ...

Scientists are increasingly applying artificial intelligence (AI) to biologics discovery, including de novo protein design. However, complex sequence-function relationships and the need for ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...
