Daily briefing: ‘Raygun’ AI can shrink or supersize proteins

TL;DR - Nature highlights “Raygun,” an AI tool that can resize proteins by adding, removing or swapping subunits through evolution-inspired steps. The approach could expand researchers’ ability to engineer proteins with altered structures and functions.

• Raygun can shrink or enlarge protein assemblies.
• It supports adding, deleting and exchanging protein subunits.
• The method is described as mimicking aspects of natural evolution.
• The provided briefing does not report performance metrics or experimental details.
