Recent trends in directed enzyme evolution focus on combining high-throughput screening methods with advanced biophysical tools and data-driven computational approaches. However, these methods pose ...
Directed evolution is a laboratory technique that mimics natural selection and allows scientists to evolve genes and the proteins they encode. Traditionally, this technique has been used in microbes, ...
(THE CONVERSATION) Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle ...
In nature, evolution takes years to sculpt new traits. In the lab, scientists hope to achieve this feat much faster: Being able to evolve proteins with enhanced or novel functions has important ...
A research team reports that advances in protein design—especially when combined with artificial intelligence—are rapidly ...
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 ...
