Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design brand-new enzymes that can go through multi-step reactions, a key feature of natural enzymes. The structures they made accelerated a four-step chemical reaction pivotal to many biological and industrial processes, including plastic recycling.
“This is a milestone in enzyme engineering,” says Huimin Zhao, a synthetic biologist at the…
