Code to complex: AI-driven de novo binder design
In this review, Fox et al. discuss how artificial intelligence has transformed our
ability to design new-to-nature proteins that bind target proteins with high affinity
and specificity. The authors de...

Development of a De Novo Protein Binder that Inhibits the Alpha Kinase eEF2K
Elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) is calmodulin activated and phosphorylates eEF2, a GTPase, that regulates global translation. When eEF2K phosphorylates eEF2, protein translation is halted. This pro...
