Simulation-based Protein Engineering with Transferable Implicit Transfer Operators
Minute changes in proteins—such as a single amino acid substitution—can profoundly impact cellular function. A computational model capable of systematically mapping the relationship between protein sequences, their dynamics, and their interactions with other biomolecules would revolutionize biology and enable rational, physics-informed bioengineering applications. SPETITO outlines the methodological foundations for such a framework. Recent advances in deep generative AI (GenAI) have enabled surrogate methods for efficient molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, tackling the challenge of sampling rare events and conformational transitions. The PI co-developed groundbreaking methods—Boltzmann…
