Awesome to see the protein expressed and the bacteria healthy.

Synthetic proteins made from scratch thou ?
Hardly semi syntheic and even if all amino acids where synthetic the "protein" would be a worthless peptide, how could it fold into anything usable?

This is simply a mutated DNA expressed as 2 new amino acids,a new type of mutation, which is cool but how does it help creating new proteins and cures ? if anything it should make the simulation of folding even harder!

Synthetic peptides is easy to make and nothing new, these new aa´s could easly be incorporated if they had any purpose. The peptides just wont fold into proteins and new aa´s wont make them fold any better!

Did the superfolder GPF even fold ? did it function ? i wounder, bleh 5 dollar for the article and it wont even say!
