Overview of protein engineering strategies. Directed evolution mimics natural selection in the laboratory through iterative rounds of mutagenesis and screening. Rational design uses structural and ...

Proteins are life’s molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are built from 20 different types of amino acid molecules, so even a small protein ...

Two projects at the University of California, Davis, that use artificial intelligence to design and engineer proteins for industrial and health applications have been funded by the U.S. National ...
