Shoutout to @RavennaBrewing and @Reubensbrews who with their collaborative beer #CrispyShifty unknowingly and retroactively inspired us to design proteins that are both crispy (fully structured and well defined in both states) and shifty (readily switching between both states)

We are mourning the loss of Dan Tawfik, a brilliant researcher and longtime friend of the institute. His scientific accomplishments will endure, as will his kindness, generosity, and humor. Dan made the world a better place.

The primary @ScienceMagazine article is titled "Evolution of fold switching in a metamorphic protein" by @cacidish in the lab of Brian Volkman and their colleagues: science.sciencemag.org/conte…

my latest for Quanta - a story about metamorphic proteins that switch rapidly and reversibly between two folds. A superpower for cells. But basically double trouble for protein designers 😅. @cacidish @UWproteindesign @MedicalCollege
Proteins are molecular origami at its finest. A recent study shows that, while most proteins have a single stable shape and function, some have evolved to quickly refold themselves for different functions as needed. quantamagazine.org/metamorph…
So excited to share our work on the evolution of metamorphic proteins! science.sciencemag.org/conte…

A shapeshifting immune system protein called XCL1 evolved from a single-shape ancestor hundreds of millions of years ago. Now, researchers at MCW discovered the molecular basis for how this happened. Learn more: mcw.edu/newsroom/news-articl…
