“Precision protein digestion”: Digestiva uses new computational tools to unlock enzyme catalysis

Technology advancements pave the way to enhance the efficacy of proteins through enzymes — proteins that transform physical matter. Novel computational and experimental tools and AI enable enzyme innovation for optimal human health and sustainability. We discuss the potential of these tools with Justin Siegel, professor at the Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility of the University of California Davis, US, and co-founder of several food tech start-ups.

“By introducing these technologies, we can come up with ‘no compromise’ solutions across every major agricultural system. Protein is the tip of the spear,” Siegel tells Nutrition Insight.
