The recent findings of Waldo et al. 1 demonstrate that the fusion of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) to insoluble proteins dramatically reduces its folding ability in prokaryotic cells.
Avoid fusions to the GFP fragments at the site of protein-protein interaction and consider optimizing the spacer length between the fusions and GFP fragments, if necessary. In the absence of ...
Evolution has been fine-tuning life at the molecular level for billions of years. Proteins, the fundamental building blocks of life, have evolved through this process to perform various biological ...
In a study published in Science, researchers detailed how they used advanced language models to fast-forward evolution, simulating hundreds of millions of years of genetic changes ...
That's the equivalent of 500 million years of evolution being processed by AI, the research team estimates, and it opens the way to creating custom-made proteins that can be designed for specific uses ...
The model was able to predict optimized GFP sequences that had as many as seven different amino acids from the protein sequence they started with, and the best of these proteins were estimated to ...
