ScienceAI-designed protein reportedly survives 150°C without losing its structure
A post claims Nanjing University researchers designed a synthetic protein that requires over 1,000 piconewtons of force to unfold and produced it as a thermally stable hydrogel.
TLDR
A post claims researchers at Nanjing University used AI and molecular simulations to design a synthetic protein from scratch, increasing its hydrogen bonds from 4 to 33. According to the account, the protein survived exposure to 150°C without losing structural integrity and required over 1,000 piconewtons of force to unfold. The post says researchers also physically produced it as a thermally stable hydrogel.
