What if AI could invent enzymes that nature hasn’t seen? 👩🔬🧑🔬
Introducing 🪩 DISCO: Diffusion for Sequence-structure CO-design
14 rounds of directed evolution and over a year of wet lab work. That's what it took to engineer an enzyme for selective C(sp³)–H insertion, one of the most challenging transformations in organic chemistry.
DISCO surpasses this with a single plate. No pre-specified catalytic residues, no template, no theozyme, no inverse folding, just joint diffusion over protein sequence and structure.

Our student chapter had the amazing opportunity to talk with Prof. Marc Hillmyer over a pizza lunch last week. We talked about publishing and how awesome @MacroJrnls_ACS are.
