March 5, 2018 - 8:10am

 "Large enhancement of response times of a protein conformational switch by computational design" was released for publication on March 9 in Nature Communications. The paper reports the enhancement of the kinetics of an engineered protein-based calcium sensor by >32-fold, bringing the response time of the sensor into the timescales of physiological calcium fluctuations. The primary author of the paper is an undergraduate in the Chong research lab, Alex DeGrave.
