"Despite significant advances in computational protein design in recent years, designing protein binders from scratch remains challenging," explains the study's first author, Kateryna Maksymenko. "To ...

Researchers from the lab of Nobel laureate, David Baker, PhD, have now released RFdiffusion3 open source. The latest version of the de novo protein design model generates proteins that interact with ...

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 ...

For the field of drug development, hitting the right target with atomic precision to achieve therapeutic effect remains the core challenge. While traditional R&D pipelines are dependent on ...

Physical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell signaling and growth to immune responses, so the ability to control these interactions is of great interest to biologists.

In 2023, scientists in the joint School of Engineering and School of Life Sciences Laboratory of Protein Design and Immunoengineering (LPDI), led by Bruno Correia, published in Nature a deep-learning ...

Although proteins are composed out of only a small number of distinct amino acids, this deceptive simplicity quickly vanishes when considering the many possible sequences across a protein, not to ...

Physical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell signaling and growth to immune responses, so the ability to control these interactions is of great interest to biologists.

A new study Dec. 18 in Nature reports an AI-driven advance in biotechnology with implications for drug development, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Scientists at the Institute for ...

Since its release in 2024, the open-source platform BindCraft, developed at EPFL, has already disrupted the world of protein design. Physical interactions between proteins influence anything from cell ...
