Codon Digest: Discovering Antibiotics with Deep Learning

Codon

The wild-type IscB protein only has 500 amino acids. This means that IscB base editors might be easier to package inside of AAVs, which can only store 4,700 bases of DNA for gene therapies. 3/ Cell Membrane Editor A cell is a lipid shell with lots of DNA, proteins, and RNA molecules inside. This paper is a big deal!
