Today we report new #deeplearning approaches for functional #proteindesign. We use these to generate immunogens, receptor traps, metalloproteins, enzymes, and binder proteins. We validate the designs using in silico and lab tests.

The COVID19 vaccine developed by @KingLabIPD & @VeeslerLab has met its Phase 3 trial goals and is now under review for full authorization in Korea.
SK bioscience, the company leading clinical development abroad, found the vaccine outperformed Oxford/AstraZeneca’s in the clinic.

"Baker and his colleagues tested their strategy on 12 target proteins. [T]he researchers wound up with miniproteins that bound as strongly as, if not stronger than, most antibodies do."
