Design of new protein functions using deep learning

Proteins are the building blocks of the world around us. At the Institute for Protein Design, researchers use deep learning methods to create new-to-nature proteins to solve a myriad of problems relevant to humanity. This presentation covers a range of applications that the team at the IPD are exploring:
de novo proteins that provide new solutions in medicine
using proteins as molecular switches to turn medicines on and off
designing novel enzymes
using protein design to develop novel materials, like semiconductors
