Binder design is nice and all, but here we have three agents sharing data and autonomously controlling a lab to design enzymes with shifted substrate scopes and high activity! @cobanbrooks.bsky.social @pascalnotin.bsky.social @philromero.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I’m really excited to share our new preprint, out today, where we built a fully autonomous system for enzyme engineering — integrating a self-driving lab with a generative protein language model that worked together over a month to engineer substrate specificity in glycoside hydrolase enzymes🤖 🧬

Excited to be at #EurIPS + @workshopmlsb.bsky.social next week in Copenhagen talking about our work building self-driving labs to engineer new proteins. If you’re into lab automation, active learning, Bayesian opt, or proteins in general let’s meet!
