Can Computationally Designed Membrane Protein Analogs Accelerate Drug Discovery?
It is still very difficult to construct complex protein folds from scratch using only computational methods. École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) scientists create intricate folds and soluble counterparts of essential membrane proteins using a powerful deep-learning pipeline. Researchers show that the structural characteristics of unique membrane topologies, including those from G-protein-coupled receptors, may be…
