If this approach is as robust as these early results suggest, the impact on the molecular life sciences will be large. Not too long ago, a movie scene in which the hero asks a machine to create a protein with a custom function deserved major eye rolling. But now it’s happening.😳

@davidrliu i would love to see this work with photoswitchable molecules! Interactions that happen only in the presence or absence of light, preferably red light using an efficient light absorber…
