The use of these methods, in particular the Rozetta and AlphaFold computer platforms, has led to tremendous progress in this area, as evidenced by last year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Currently, these methods should be recommended for use in any modern laboratory conducting work on the physical chemistry of proteins and protein engineering.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена развитию инженерии рекомбинантных белков, прежде всего искусственных белков, или белков de novo, – от создания первых белков с заданной пространственной структурой и биологической активностью до современных работ в этой области, в которых широко используются методы машинного обучения и искусственного интеллекта. Применение этих методов, в частности компьютерных платформ Rozetta и AlphaFold, привело к огромному прогрессу в данной области, о чём свидетельствует Нобелевская премия по химии прошлого года. В настоящее время эти методы должны быть рекомендованы для использования в любой современной лаборатории, проводящей работы по физико-химии белков и белковой инженерии.
