Princeton scientists construct synthetic proteins that sustain life

In a groundbreaking achievement that could help scientists “build” new biological systems, Princeton University scientists have constructed for the first time artificial proteins that enable the growth of living cells.
The team of researchers cr…

Study classifies and uses artificial proteins to analyze protein-protein interfaces

Interactions between proteins are at the heart of cellular processes, and those interactions depend on the interfaces where the direct physical contact occurs. A new study published this week suggests that there may be roughly a thousand struct…
