AI-Designed Enzymes

Codon

One study from 2008 (also from the Baker lab) reported de novo enzyme catalysts for Kemp elimination — a reaction that opens up a benzisoxazole ring — by running molecular dynamics simulations to sieve through possible designs. They synthesized DNA encoding each protein variant, expressed the proteins in E.

Driving Toward Nanopores

Codon

And unlike traditional DNA sequencers, which parse genetic material by breaking it up into fragments and interpreting it chunk-by-chunk, a nanopore device unspools a long strand of DNA and reads it all at once. A scientist can isolate DNA and load up a flow cell in fifteen minutes. Nanopore devices work incredibly fast.

Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.
