Researchers have developed a new method for designing de novo proteins with tailored properties. Their approach leverages the structure prediction capabilities of AlphaFold2, combining them with an optimization process known as gradient descent and a virtual superposition of amino acids. The photo shows part of the team. Left: First author Christopher Frank, right: Prof. Dr. Hendrik Dietz, Professor of Biomolecular Nanotechnology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
