Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaProtein Novo, an AI system capable of designing enzymes from scratch, including ones not found in nature.
Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaProtein Novo, an AI system capable of designing enzymes from scratch, including ones not found in nature.
It generates protein structures and amino acid sequences tailored to specific chemical reactions, expanding the possibilities of enzyme engineering. Initial research demonstrated enzymes that break down the plastic additive DEHP and catalyze chemical reactions beyond those performed by natural enzymes.
