Revolution in Modern Biochemistry
AI & Protein Design: Revolution in Modern Biochemistry Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of biochemistry by helping scientists understand how proteins fold, interact, and function. With tools like AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold , researchers can now predict and design proteins with incredible accuracy, opening new possibilities in medicine, biotechnology, and health sciences. 🌟 What Is Protein Design? Proteins are essential molecules that perform thousands of functions in the body. Protein design means: Creating new proteins with specific shapes Improving natural proteins Designing proteins for medicine, industry, and environmental applications The key idea is: shape determines function — the 3D structure of a protein decides what it can do. 🤖 How AI Predicts Protein Structure Earlier, determining protein structure required costly, time-consuming techniques like X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM. Now, AI can predict struc...
