After computational design, the team tested the designed proteins in the laboratory and identified binders to particular ligands, following computational design and using machine learning methods to ...

AI language models, used to generate human-like text to power chatbots and create content, are also revolutionizing biology by treating complex biological data like a language. Language models are ...

Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a long time to achieve these gains. To shorten this process, scientists often ...

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 ...

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), led by Jorge Alegre-Cebollada, has developed an innovative method, called TEVs-TTN, for studying the specific mechanical ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a blood test that can identify early signs of Alzheimer's disease by measuring proteins linked to the condition. The new test, known ...

UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Each protein is identified as a point in this scatter plot of data embedded in the language model’s latent space. The red, green and yellow points indicate various subtypes of proteins found in nature ...

Researchers have developed a new method for designing de novo proteins with tailored properties. Their approach leverages the structure prediction capabilities of AlphaFold2, combining them with an ...
