EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

Directed Evolution (DE) is a method developed by Nobel laureate Frances Arnold to improve protein fitness for specific applications. However, DE can be less efficient when mutations show epistatic ...

The low efficiency of conventional vectors used for genetic medicines often means delivering them at high doses and by suboptimal routes, leading to inflammation, toxic side effects and limited ...
