  1. 1. Design and Evaluation of Peptide Binders : In silico evaluation and comparison of generative AI for de novo peptide binder design

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och bioinformatik

    Author : Linde Brokmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Protein design; de novo design; protein engineering; generative ai; machine learning; peptide binders; AF2; EvoBind; RFdiffusion; ProteinMPNN;

    Abstract : Peptide binders are short proteins that bind to larger proteins. Due to peptide binders having high specificity and being cheap to synthesize, they are a prime candidate for drug design. Creating new proteins in silico can be divided into three steps: protein backbone generation, sequence design, and computational filtering. READ MORE

  2. 2. Determining Protein Conformational Ensembles by Combining Machine Learning and SAXS

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Samuel Eriksson Lidbrink; [2023]
    Keywords : AlphaFold; AlphaFold2; SAXS; protein conformational ensembles; machine learning; protein conformations; reweighting; SAXS; AlphaFold; AlphaFold2; proteinkonformationsensembler; maskininlärning; proteinkonformationer; omviktning;

    Abstract : In structural biology, immense effort has been put into discovering functionally relevant atomic resolution protein structures. Still, most experimental, computational and machine learning-based methods alone struggle to capture all the functionally relevant states of many proteins without very involved and system-specific techniques.

  3. 3. Designing an optmized met X/Y enzymes for an efficient methionine production in E.coli

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Luísa Rodrigues; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Methionine is a proteinogenic amino acid critical amino for the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and agricultural industries. The overall methionine biosynthetic pathway is as follows: 1. Acetylation of homoserine and its subsequent activation 2. Formation of homoserine through the replacement hydroxyl group by a thiol group, 3. READ MORE
