A big day for 3D protein structure prediction via #AI deep learning. Down to atomic accuracy w/ open-source code, methodology @nature Science Magazine @DeepMind Institute for Protein Design Demis Hassabis UW Biochemistry nature.com/articles/s4158… science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

Just out in Science Magazine: Institute for Protein Design-led researchers present RoseTTAFold – a neural network approach for protein modeling with accuracies near those of what DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 has achieved. The tool’s code is freely available. science.sciencemag.org/lookup/doi/10.…

Did you know that you (yes you) can now use the world's most advanced AI software to improve your gameplay inside Foldit? Alphafold is in Foldit❗️ Learn more in this month's Lab Report: youtube.com/watch?v=zjZJR4…

S. Korea has just approved a Phase 3 trial of the COVID nanoparticle vaccine we reported last year in Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… All Phase 1/2 trial participants induced neutralizing antibodies. King Lab The Veesler Lab UW Medicine reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

IPD director David Baker, together w John Jumper and Demis Hassabis of DeepMind, will receive the 2022 Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences for pioneering work on protein structure prediction. Their award lectures will be streamed April 1. Learn more at: newsroom.wiley.com/press-releases…

New in the feed! EBRC In Translation's Andrew Hunt and Kevin Reed interview Dr. David Baker, professor at University of Washington and director of Institute for Protein Design, about the practical and philosophical of #proteindesign and using video games for #science. Check it out at ebrc.org/InTranslation

"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." science.org/content/articl…

The COVID19 vaccine developed by King Lab & @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.

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. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Today our admin team met with Rep. Pramila Jayapal to celebrate new Federal investments in 10 key projects across the Seattle area. Our request will enable the purchase of advanced laboratory equipment that will help us discover new cures for current and future pandemics.
