Researchers use AI to design proteins that cut up other proteins
Researchers have used artificial intelligence to design proteins that can break down other proteins by targeting their peptide bonds. These proteins are inspired by natural enzymes that already exist in organisms, but were designed using AI algorithms. The resulting proteins are capable of cutting up other proteins with high efficiency.
Why it's good news: It highlights the potential of artificial intelligence to develop innovative biological tools and solutions.
