Protein engineers and biochemists (and everyone, really), check out this awesome work by Kadina Johnston constructing a 160,000-member fitness landscape in the active site of (my favorite enzyme!) TrpB. There's one neat result (among many) that I wanted to discuss in more detail: (1/9)
Recently out at Nat Chem Bio! I used my Ras biosensors (Zhang et al Nat Biotech 2024) to profile the activity and environment of Ras at the single-cell level, which unveiled the signaling mechanisms underlying RasG12C inhibitor resistance. nature.com/articles/s4158… Institute for Protein Design
This collaboration with Polly Fordyce driven by Nicole DelRosso and Peter Suzuki is a dream come true: we know hundreds of activators sequences, but how do they work? We can now measure protein-protein interactions at scale in vitro and connect them with expression in cells!
Congratulations to postdoc Karl Krauth for being awarded a Branco Weiss fellowship! Thrilled that this computer scientist dared to learn to do experiments and excited to see what we can learn about protein sequence/function relationships! brancoweissfellowship.org/fellow/krauth/
