Deep Learning Turns Cancer Protein K-Ras(G12C) Into an Orthogonal Self-Labeling Fluorescent Tag
KevinKaichuang · x · 2026-10-13
A Harvard/MIT/Broad team posted a bioRxiv preprint describing a deep-learning-based redesign that converts the oncoprotein K-Ras(G12C) into an orthogonal self-labeling fluorescent protein tag — repurposing a key cancer drug target as a live-cell imaging tool. Authors include Jody Mou, Fei Chen, and Nicholas Polizzi.
