Check out Christian Schafmeister's research if you are interested in this: https://www.schafmeistergroup.com/ https://www.schafmeistergroup.com/
There is a brief summary of the history of Schafmeister's approaches (and why he thinks direct copying of protein-based mechanisms from nature will not work) in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X69_42Mj-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X69_42Mj-g
- agumonkey 9y agoI was very fond of his talk. Not much news but he answered on youtube saying he was still active on this. Time will tell.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoHe presented more of his work on last year's European Lisp Symposium, which I had a chance to see in person. I actually asked him why he thinks "direct copying of protein-based mechanisms from nature will not work". He had a pretty smart answer for that, which I unfortunately don't remember anymore :(.
- agumonkey 9y agoHeh, I'll ask that in a mail later too. I wonder how connected he is with other medical research fields, time to dig pubmed

Here's the video from last year's ELS. At the beginning of it he actually explains some of the reasoning - i.e. proteins are cool and powerful, but a) too hard to design, and b) too fragile.
