Targeting distal mutations holds promising implications for enzyme engineering. Here, we present an open-source computational workflow designed to explore the functional impact of distal sites, demonstrated on an artificial enzyme built on the widely...
The pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) is widely used to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins. However, the yields of most ncAA-containing protein remain low due to the limited activity of PylRS variants. Here, we apply machine...
Antibodies play a crucial role in our immune system. Their ability to bind to and neutralize pathogens opens opportunities to develop antibodies for therapeutic and diagnostic use. Computational methods capable of designing antibodies for a target an...
