Protein catalysis and allostery require the atomic-level orchestration and motion of residues and ligand, solvent and protein effector molecules. However, the ability to design protein activity through precise protein–solvent cooperative interactions has n ...
The density of a protein molecule is a key property within a variety of experimental techniques. We present a computational method for determining protein mass density that explicitly incorporates hydration effects. Our approach uses molecular dynamics sim ...
This disclosure describes a method for de novo bottom-up assembly and rational design of allosteric biosensors with programmable input-output behaviors that respond to soluble factors selectively enriched in tumors and trigger co-stimulation and cytokine s ...
Following the hugely successful application of deep learning methods to protein structure prediction, an increasing number of design methods seek to leverage generative models to design proteins with improved functionality over native proteins or novel str ...
Many technologically important material properties are underpinned by disorder and short-range structural correlations; therefore, elucidating structure-property relationships in functional materials requires understanding both the average and the local st ...
Signal transmission between neurons requires exocytosis of neurotransmitters from the lumen of synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. Following an influx of Ca2+, this process is facilitated by the Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1. The underlying mechanisms ...
