The AI supported multiple research stages, including searching approximately 15 billion protein sequences, designing DNA constructs, and analyzing microscopy data. The team reduced particle purification from three days to 90 minutes, opening new possibilities for studying these mysterious structures and their potential biotechnology applications.
