AI Speeds Up Protein Structure Predictions in Groundbreaking Study
A team of researchers has used AI to drastically speed up protein structure predictions, potentially revolutionizing drug discovery, according to a recent report from Nature. The AI model is capable of predicting the 3D structures of proteins in record time, which could pave the way for faster development of treatments for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. The researchers believe this breakthrough will save scientists years of time in the lab.
Editor’s Comment: If AI can predict proteins, maybe it can predict when you’ll catch a cold! This is good news, especially when diseases are always a step ahead. But here’s hoping the tech isn’t used to predict anything… sinister. Fingers crossed for the ethical scientists out there.
