Google and Meta AI could boost cancer research and drug discovery

Encoded in the DNA, a protein may be represented as a thread of hundreds of individual molecules called amino acids, linked together. Depending on the particular amino acids combination, a protein folds in a particular way, resulting in a functional 3D shape. The shape makes the function, and with 20 different amino acids available, the […]
