AI-designed enzymes cut selected protein targets in lab tests
The cell test suggests AI-designed proteases could target disease-associated proteins, though delivery and immune responses remain hurdles.
• Researchers used AI tools to design proteases that cut selected protein targets.
• Placing a water molecule in the zinc designs raised the share showing some activity from 14 of 89 to 35 of 38.
• A redesigned zinc protease cut its intended disease-associated target in cells.
