💭 What if you could pick out a single resident in a metropolis of millions, just by looking down from a skyscraper? That's the challenge EMBL scientists are solving when trying to identify specific molecules inside the crowded world of a cell. EMBL researchers and their collaborators have developed a new synthetic protein tag, called NovoTags, using the Nobel-Prize-winning, AI-driven de novo protein design approach developed by the Baker Lab at the University of Washington. This new tagging system allows scientists to zoom in on specific proteins inside human cells by using fluorescence microscopy. Curious how NovoTags will help scientists map the cell's busiest alleyways? Check here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKFcJsPT Dr. Steffen Klein | David Baker | Baker Lab | University of Washington
