AlphaProteo generates novel proteins for biology and health research
Research AlphaProteo generates novel proteins for biology and health research New AI system designs proteins that successfully bind to target molecules, with potential for advancing drug design, disease understanding and more. Every biological process in the body, from cell growth to immune responses, depends on interactions between molecules called proteins.
While recent machine learning approaches to protein design have made great strides, the process is still laborious and requires extensive experimental testing. Today, we introduce AlphaProteo, our first AI system for designing novel, high-strength protein binders to serve as building blocks for biological and health research. Protein design is a fast-evolving technology that holds lots of potential for advancing science in everything from understanding the factors that cause disease, to accelerating diagnostic test development for virus outbreaks, supporting more sustainable manufacturing processes, and even cleaning contaminants from the environment.
