Nature Study: AI-Redesigned Proteins Serve as Better Starting Points for Evolution

A study published in Nature combines ProteinMPNN sequence design with automated lab evolution, demonstrating that AI-redesigned proteins can serve as superior starting points compared to natural ones. Researchers successfully used this method to engineer more potent enzymes from botulinum toxin proteases.
