MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain. To engineer proteins with useful functions, researchers usually begin with a natural protein that has a desirable function, such as emitting fluorescent light, and put it through many round
A new computational approach developed at MIT makes it easier to predict mutations that will lead to optimized proteins, based on a relatively small amount of data.

<p>A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. The technique, developed at MIT, relies on “switchable fluorophores” — fluorescent proteins that turn on and off at a specific rate.</p>
