CAREER: New routes to designing dynamic protein structures

US NSF grant open #nsf-2543428

Summary

Natural proteins perform critical functions in our bodies. Proteins can be designed to perform new functions that help society. For example, designed proteins could detect diseases, transport drugs, generate clean fuels, and defuse toxins. However, designed proteins perform worse than natural ones. This project aims to use lessons from natural proteins to produce better designed proteins. This will be done by testing whether existing designed proteins move differently than natural ones. The work will also use artificial intelligence (AI) to design new proteins with different types of mot
