A research group at Umeå University has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells.

Enzymes are proteins – large molecules that do the behind-the-scenes work that keep all living things alive. These proteins are made up of amino acids, a set of building blocks that can be stitched ...

Interdisciplinary work in the life ... protein binds. Then, the RecA filaments mediate a search for a homologous site within the genome, eventually forming an intermediate known as a joint molecule.

The work represents the latest real-life application of work ... RFdiffusion can concoct protein designs that match a molecule scientists want to target. Baker’s team had previously trained ...
