🔬 Researchers at UCSF have developed a novel protein design method, combining X-ray crystallography and directed evolution, enabling rapid creation of new proteins with targeted functions.

💡 This breakthrough strategy, utilizing SLAC and Berkeley Lab's synchrotron light sources, redesigned a known protein into two new ones: a highly active enzyme (KABLE) and a fluorescent biosensor.

🚀 The new enzyme, KABLE, demonstrated a record-breaking 10-fold higher activity compared to previously designed enzymes, opening doors for improved drugs and manufacturing catalysts.
