- 1Ultra-High-Throughput Screening Platform Accelerates Enzyme Engineering▼Enzyme Engineering Speeds Up With an Ultra-High-Throughput Screening Platform
A new ultra-high-throughput screening platform is reported to significantly speed up enzyme engineering, allowing researchers to test vastly larger libraries of enzyme variants than conventional methods. The development, covered by The Scientist, could shorten the design cycle for industrial and biomedical enzymes. Details of the platform's performance and who developed it have not been widely reported yet.

- 3Norrin complex structure paves way for engineered signaling surrogates▼Norrin complex structure guides potent engineered signaling surrogates
Researchers have determined the structure of the Norrin signaling complex, a protein assembly central to blood vessel development in the eye and ear. With the detailed structural blueprint in hand, scientists can now design potent engineered surrogates that mimic Norrin's activity, an advance with potential relevance for treating disorders such as familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and other Wnt-related conditions.
