Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For ...

Many of the food industry’s most persistent problems exist not in the realm of business and economics – scaling, costs of materials and the like – but in nature itself. Crops, which the food industry ...

A Seattle startup company has inked a deal with Eli Lilly to develop AI-powered cancer treatments. The team at Lila Biologics says they're pioneering the translation of AI design proteins for ...

With the advent of AI-powered protein design tools, protein-based therapeutics may no longer be constrained by the limits imposed by natural selection. Protein-based therapeutics have been ...

In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have ...

Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, especially those equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T cells), ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

The future of protein design will involve coding new amino acid sequences, as these sequences determine how proteins fold into specific structures, which in turn dictate their functions. Proteins are ...

Protein is the key to firing up your metabolism because it feeds lean muscle. And lean muscle? That’s the secret to strong posture, a toned look and a faster calorie burn. In fact, lean muscle burns ...
