New AI system designs proteins that successfully bind to target molecules, with potential for advancing drug design, disease understanding and more.

September 5, 2024 Science Protein Design and Wet Lab teams New AI system designs proteins that successfully bind to target molecules, with potential for advancing drug design, disease understanding and more. Every biological process in the body, from cell growth to immune responses, depends on interactions between molecules called proteins. Like a key to a lock, one protein can bind to another, helping regulate critical cellular processes. Protein structure prediction tools like AlphaFold have already given us tremendous insight into how proteins interact with each other to perform their…
