This study uses deep learning and biophysical modeling to discover plastic-binding peptides with high affinity, solubility, and specificity for common plastics, offering a strategy for microplastic remediation.

The paper designs peptides as alternatives to antibodies for detecting protein biomarkers on extracellular vesicles, showing comparable affinity to antibodies.

The paper designs 7-mer peptides that self-assemble into parallel β-sheets using computational screening, simulations, and experimental validation.

The paper develops MHC class I blocking peptides to inhibit CD8+ T cell activation in MASH, reducing inflammation and fibrosis.
