A new deep learning-based tool called Metabolic Translator may soon give researchers a better handle on how drugs in development will perform in the human body. When you take a medication, you want to know precisely what it does. Pharmaceutical companies go through extensive testing to ensure that you do. Metabolic Translator, a computational tool that predicts metabolites, the products of interactions between small molecules like drugs and enzymes could help improve the process. The new tool takes advantage of deep-learning methods and the availability of massive reaction datasets to give developers a broad picture of what a drug will do.
