AlphaFold 'goes viral': database adds protein complexes of common viruses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A database of predicted structures for nearly every known protein on Earth is being upgraded to better represent some of the least known and deadliest species: viruses. Researchers added more than 8,000 virus protein dimers â pairs of interacting molecules â to the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database today. The resource contains predictions of the 3D structure of proteins, which are generated using the AlphaFold2 artificial-intelligence tool and made publicly available. The added proteins c
How a team of AIs discovered a promising lung-cancer drug (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs a pharmaceutical-company executiveâs dream: tens of thousands of employees working day and night, uninterrupted by meals, sleep or distraction, to find the next blockbuster drug. A sophisticated artificial-intelligence system called the Virtual Biotech, which is described today in the journal Science1, is a step towards this vision. The Virtual Biotech comprises as many as 37,000 agents â AI systems that autonomously interact with large language models (LLMs) or with each other and ar
Drug firmsâ secret data supercharge AI protein models (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For drug discovery, protein-folding models such as AlphaFold have a data problem: there isnât enough of it in public databases. Improving the performance of these artificial-intelligence-based tools will require extra data that provide examples of how proteins and drugs interact, some scientists argue. Protein structures â locked away by the thousands in drug company vaults â offer one promising source. Today, a consortium of pharmaceutical companies reports that using such data to train A

Read excerpt
Itâs 35â°C in the shade, amid Europeâs June heatwave, and Alexander Janas has just emerged from Hohle Fels Cave in southwestern Germany, where the mercury reads 9 or 10â°C. âItâs wonderful to be inside,â says Janas, an archaeologist at the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment in Tübingen, Germany.
