Protein-based biological circuits enable customized control of cellular functions, and de novo protein design enables circuit functionalities that are not possible by repurposing natural proteins. Here, I highlight recent progress in protein circuit design, including CHOMP, developed by Gao et al., and SPOC, developed by Fink et al.
基于蛋白质的生物电路能够实现对细胞功能的定制化控制,而从头设计蛋白质则能够实现通过重新利用天然蛋白质无法实现的电路功能。在此,我将重点介绍蛋白质电路设计方面的最新进展,包括 Gao 等人开发的 CHOMP 和 Fink 等人开发的 SPOC。
