Using AI to design proteins that inhibit bacterial heme-piracy

Date & Time

January 22, 2025 | 12 pm (Melbourne Time)

Webinar Description

Join us for an engaging webinar to learn about the exciting discovery of hemoglobin blocker for ChuA. Learn about how Twist clonal genes and artificial intelligence can help in the design of de novo-designed protein for inhibiting bacterial membrane transporters.


In this webinar you will:
  • Bacterial pathogens encode proteins capable of extracting iron-containing cofactors from host proteins.
  • The extraction of iron is crucial as iron is essential for bacterial growth.
  • Using Twist clonal genes, AI and structural modelling, binders inhibiting hemoglobin binding to ChuA are created and screened.
