Artificial Intelligence Helps Design Better Antibody Drugs

Machine learning helps develop optimal antibody drugs. Antibodies are not only produced by our immune cells to fight viruses and other pathogens in the body. For a few decades now, medicine has also been using antibodies produced by biotechnology as drugs. This is because antibodies are extremely good at binding specifically to molecular structures according to the lock-and-key principle. However, developing such antibody drugs is anything but simple.
