MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain. To engineer proteins with useful functions, researchers usually begin with a natural protein that has a desirable function, such as emitting fluorescent light, and put it through many round
A new computational approach developed at MIT makes it easier to predict mutations that will lead to optimized proteins, based on a relatively small amount of data.
Lorimer Awards honor Yale staff members for distinguished service November 13, 2023 Twenty-four Yale colleagues have been honored with the Linda K. Lorimer Award for Distinguished Service. The awards were presented by President Peter Salovey in a ceremony at the President’s House on November 13. Now in its tenth year, this award recognizes staff members who exemplify Yale’s
Biology is a complex and intricate field, with DNA acting as the master weaver that codes for proteins, which are crucial for maintaining the various
MIT CSAIL researchers created FrameDiff, a computational tool utilizing machine learning to design novel protein structures. By simulating protein backbones with mathematical frames, FrameDiff constructs proteins that surpass natural varieties.
