The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 possible variants—more combinations than atoms in the observable universe.

Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

In cells, protein-coding genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules when they are active, and mRNA can be translated into proteins. While protein start out as strings of amino acids, ...

Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a system that mimics natural selection inside living mammalian cells but in a very controlled setting. They call it PROTEUS, short for PROTein ...

Australian scientists have successfully developed a research system that uses 'biological artificial intelligence' to design and evolve molecules with new or improved functions directly in mammal ...
