Designed Enzymes Precisely Cut Targeted Proteins in Lab Tests

“UW Medicine Institute for Protein Design researchers have computationally designed synthetic proteases. Like molecular ‘scissors,’ these enzymes cut another protein at a precise, chosen point. The researchers specified a target sequence, designed enzymes to cut those targets, and verified their accuracy in doing so across a range of experimental settings. They tested the new enzymes […] The post Designed Enzymes Precisely Cut Targeted Proteins in Lab Tests appeared first on Human Progress.
