Millions of years of evolution guide AI search for pollution-fighting enzymes
Researchers are using AI to sift through millions of enzyme records in search of those that can break down pollutants like plastic. This effort combines machine learning with biochemistry expertise at Murdoch University's Bioplastics Innovation Hub. The goal is to find enzymes that can help clean up pollutants.
Why it's good news: It could lead to the discovery of new tools to combat pollution, a major environmental issue.
