talk about deceptive titles.
i know this much: protein folding is to many the holy grail of biotech. because most(?) of the most successful biologics have been large proteins. because protein folding is so obscure, manufacturing large, complex proteins is non-trivial, difficult to scale up and to troubleshoot. (using computer buzzwords since this is hn.) there are a limited number of facilities in the world that can do it right. a delicate process to say the least.
a more accurate headline might be: patent granted to ornl for work on protein folding.
