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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Proteins are often called the working molecules of the human body. A typical body has more than 20,000 different types of proteins, each of which are involved in many functions ...

Protein design is crucial for the treatment of human diseases, but traditional protein design methods have some limitations. Site-directed mutagenesis is highly dependent on the physiological ...

Researchers have created a deep learning pipeline for designing soluble analogues of key protein structures used in pharmaceutical development, sidestepping the prohibitive cost of extracting these ...

Three scientists were named winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their innovations in the fields of computational protein design and structure prediction. One half of the prize was awarded ...

For decades, scientists have relied on structure to understand protein function. Tools like AlphaFold have revolutionized how researchers predict and design folded proteins, allowing for new ...

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 ...

Bioluminescence is the natural chemical process of light creation in some living creatures that makes fireflies flicker and some jellyfish glow. Scientists have long been interested in borrowing the ...

Completely artificial proteins that produce bioluminescence can serve as a non-invasive method for bioimaging, diagnostics, drug discovery, and more. Bioluminescence is the natural chemical process of ...
