Using a Nobel Prize-winning technique called cryo-EM, researchers were able to identify potential areas on the hepatitis C virus that a vaccine could target.
Using a form of artificial intelligence called deep neural networks, researchers can generate new proteins from scratch without having to consult nature.

Many features of proteins are analogous to music. Mapping these features together creates new musical compositions that help researchers learn about proteins.
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.
