Using a form of artificial intelligence called deep neural networks, researchers can generate new proteins from scratch without having to consult nature.
A simple chain of amino acids folds into a complex three-dimensional structure.
Scientists in an artificial intelligence lab have made a breakthrough in solving the problem of how proteins fold into their final three-dimensional shape. The work could speed up creation of drugs.
Delivering genetic material is a key challenge in gene therapy.

One big challenge for gene therapies is delivering DNA or RNA safely to cells inside patients’ bodies. New nanoparticles could be an improvement over the current standard – repurposed viruses.
Computers may play an important role in preparing us for the next viral outbreak – whether flu or Ebola.
