Jeanne Trinquier, PhD student supported by i-Bio, published her first paper on her thesis work in the journal Nature Communications. The authors propose a new and very efficient computer modeling approach called “generative” which allows to design artificial protein sequences statistically equivalent to natural sequences, a feature of great interest in the field of protein design.
