Low-N Protein Engineering with Surge Biswas
b'Protein engineering has been dominated by two opposing paradigms; directed evolution, a massive screening technique, and rational design, a completely computational approach. Surge has fused these two paradigms by developing a machine learning technique that discovers an optimal protein design by training on a low number of engineered proteins. Here, Surge discusses how this hybrid method works, how it enabled the creation of better fluorophores and enzymes, and what this method will unlock next.'
