Computational Redesign of an Antifreeze Protein Using Deep Learning

Cianna N. Calia, Arthur J. Altunc, Rosemary J. Eufemio, Benjamin O. Alvarado, Jake D. Huynh, Eunkeu Oh, Michael D. Burkart, Konrad Meister, Francesco Paesani

This study uses deep learning to redesign an antifreeze protein, identifying variants with improved properties but not surpassing wild-type activity.

Loss of dispersal via ice nucleation activity constrains microbial evolution

Jonathan M. Jacobs, Zachary M. Konkel, Jelmer W. Poelstra, Jules Butchacas, Lillian Ebeling-Koning, Galit Renzer, Konrad Meister, Jason C. Slot, Stephen P. Cohen, Verónica Román-Reyna, Cindy E. Morris

This study shows that loss of the inaZ gene, which enables ice nucleation activity, restricts bacterial dispersal and leads to genetic and ecological isolation.
