Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic ...

The world of protein engineering just took a giant leap forward. A team in China has developed a method that makes designing better proteins faster, cheaper, and easier. Led by Professor Gao Caixia ...

A peer-reviewed study published in Cell in March 2026 introduces “optovolution,” an in vivo directed-evolution system that ...

The key insight with a new strategy for training protein engineering models, called EvoRank, is to harness the natural variations of millions of proteins generated by evolution over deep time and ...

Evolution is biology's powerful method of engineering. It works by generating many variants of DNA, RNA, and proteins inside ...

In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have ...

The Molecular Evolution, Protein Engineering, and Production (MEPEP) Facility, part of the Purdue Institute of Inflammation, Immunology and Infectious Disease (PI4D), is a new discovery resource ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...

Engineering proteins for desirable traits has been the holy grail of modern biotechnology. For example, the food industry can benefit from engineered enzymes which have the ability to enhance ...
