Learning Life's ABCs: AI Models Read Proteins to Fight COVID-19
Ahmed Elnaggar and Michael Heinzinger are helping computers read proteins as easily as you read this sentence. The researchers are applying the latest AI models used to understand text to the field of bioinformatics. Their work could accelerate efforts to characterize living organisms like the coronavirus. By the end of the year, they aim to launch a website where researchers can plug in a string of amino acids that describe a protein. Within seconds, it will provide some details of the protein's 3D structure, a key to knowing how to treat it with a drug.
