With this, the last bit of my PhD at @embl.org is finally out! We developed salad (sparse all-atom denoising), a family of blazing fast protein structure diffusion models. Paper: nature.com/articles/s42256-… Code: github.com/mjendrusch/salad Data: zenodo.org/records/14711580 1/🧵

Should researchers use proteins designed from scratch rather than those found in nature to build synthetic cells? In a new review, Béla Frohn, Shunshi Kohyama and Petra Schwille explore how protein design and optimisation offer new possibilities for #syntheticcell design. #syncell

Protein design and optimization for synthetic cells
Nature Reviews Bioengineering, Published online: 19 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s44222-025-00318-1Bottom-up synthetic biology might greatly benefit from custom-made proteins as components of new biological systems. This Review discusses various protein optimization and design approaches, and explores how these can contribute to the generation of controllable synthetic cells.

New Review out! Can we eventually design not only proteins, but entire cells from scratch? Check out the review I wrote in @natrevbioeng.nature.com about how to combine protein design with synthetic cell science. Link: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
