Researchers create synthetic proteins that use logic to choose which cells to kill – GeekWire
The age of molecular computing is entering a new era with the development of a system that uses synthetic proteins and Boolean logic to identify cancer cells.
This stylized schematic shows a Co-LOCKR protein device coming together on the surface of a cell that has the right combination of cell surface markers to be targeted for attack. Check the end of this report for a detailed description of the process. (Institute for Protein Design Illustration)
The age of molecular-scale computing is entering a new era, thanks to the development of a system that uses synthetic proteins and Boolean logic to identify cancer cells.
