This study designs synthetic activators for programmable gene expression by engineering coactivator-binding proteins and demonstrates their enhanced transcriptional activation capabilities.

The paper designs orthogonal fluorophore-binding proteins using deep learning for multiplex imaging, demonstrating high specificity and utility in labeling and monitoring subcellular processes.

This paper presents computational methods for designing GPCR-binding miniproteins and validates them through high-throughput screening, producing agonists and antagonists for multiple GPCRs.
