Machine learning helps predict protein functions
Apr 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Proteins are integral components of all living organisms. They are composed of a sequence of building blocks called amino acids. That sequence determines their function, which can range from setting the structure of cells to regulating metabolism. Scientists can change a protein sequence and experimentally...
AI algorithms give scientists the means to design biomolecules with a huge range of valuable functions
Apr 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) When Dr. Shiran Barber-Zucker joined the lab of Prof. Sarel Fleishman as a postdoctoral fellow, she chose to pursue an environmental dream: breaking down plastic waste into useful chemicals. Nature has clever ways of decomposing tough materials: Dead trees, for example, are recycled by white-rot...
