Understanding protein geometries is essential to understanding a protein’s function, and thus essential to a range of disruptive research projects, from creating more sustainable materials to developing more effective treatments to diseases. For this reason, the “protein-folding problem” ranked for decades among biological science’s grand challenges—until Google’s DeepMind developed AlphaFold. Widely hailed as a breakthrough …
Using a pretrained AI model from NVIDIA, startup Evozyne created two proteins with significant potential in healthcare and clean energy. A joint paper released today describes the process and the biological building blocks it produced. One aims to cure a congenital disease, another is designed to consume carbon dioxide to reduce global warming. Initial results …
