Data-driven strategies are gaining increased attention in protein engineering due to recent advances in access to large experimental databanks of proteins, next-generation sequencing (NGS), high-throughput screening (HTS) methods, and the development...
Serotonin plays a central role in cognition and is the target of most pharmaceuticals for psychiatric disorders. Existing drugs have limited efficacy; creation of improved versions will require better understanding of serotonergic circuitry, which ha...
Directed evolution and rational design are powerful strategies in protein engineering to tailor enzyme properties to meet the demands in academia and industry. Traditional approaches for enzyme engineering and directed evolution are often experimenta...
Enzymes are biological catalysts with many industrial applications, but natural enzymes are usually unsuitable for industrial processes because they are not optimized for the process conditions. The properties of enzymes can be improved by directed e...
Protein engineering through machine-learning-guided directed evolution enables the optimization of protein functions. Machine-learning approaches predict how sequence maps to function in a data-driven manner without requiring a detailed model of the ...

To reduce experimental effort associated with directed protein evolution and to explore the sequence space encoded by mutating multiple positions simultaneously, we incorporate machine learning into the directed evolution workflow. Combinatorial sequ...
Directed evolution is an important research activity in synthetic biology and biotechnology. Numerous reports describe the application of tedious mutation/screening cycles for the improvement of proteins. Recently, knowledge-based approaches have fac...
Molecular evolution based on mutagenesis is widely used in protein engineering. However, optimal proteins are often difficult to obtain due to a large sequence space. Here, we propose a novel approach that combines molecular evolution with machine le...
