The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Indiana University a $113,029 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070).

The grant supports research that will integrate deep learning and high-throughput experimentation to engineer proteins for non-native enzyme catalysis. Researchers will develop artificial intelligence models to interpret experimental data and guide iterative protein design. Two classes of enzymes will be modified to facilitate novel chemical reactions. Workshops and research opportunities will be offered to students from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields to help diversify the workforce. A picoliter-scale microdroplet screening technology will be used to monitor enzyme activity in single bacterial cells and avoid crosstalk issues. Simulated annealing and probabilistic programming algorithms will be developed to search sequence spaces and estimate optimal codon combinations. The grant aims to advance understanding of protein structure-function relationships with applications in drug design, recycling, and chemical production.
