Designing de novo proteins holds immense potential for achieving superior combinations of novel functions and mechanical properties, thereby advancing biological and engineering applications. However, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed an artificial intelligence system that can create proteins not found in nature using generative diffusion, the same technology behind popular ...
