New method for designing artificial proteins
SMRTR summary
A new method combining AI software Alphafold2 with gradient descent techniques allows for designing large, custom proteins with specific properties. Over 100 proteins were virtually designed, then produced and tested in labs. The approach enables creating proteins up to 1000 amino acids long, nearing antibody size. This breakthrough could lead to new therapies, biosensors, and multi-functional enzymes for recognizing and suppressing pathogens.
