Discover the emerging field of AI-based peptide discovery and design – could this signal the beginning of a golden age for peptides?
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes ever more integrated into the world of biotechnology, one of its latest applications is the discovery and design of peptides. This is a rapidly emerging field that moves beyond traditional methods by using machine learning and deep learning to accelerate the discovery, de novo design, and optimization of therapeutic peptides, as well as peptides for areas like food and cosmetics.
In this article, we take a closer look at this emerging field and whether the incorporation of AI could signal the beginning of a golden age for peptides.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
