Overview
A new generation of generative AI techniques allow for the computational design of proteins. This includes particular (and yet unknown) proteins, that specifically recognize and bind to other molecules. However, the generated protein structures reproduce desired properties only with a low probability.
Thus, still a large amount of time and money is spent on experimental testing the designed proteins. In order to improve the efficacy of AI-based protein design, we will extend and improve state-of-the art virtual pipelines for protein design by adapting their internal mathematical structure to our specific demands.
Key Facts
Their resulting combination of mathematical and biological competences will give rise to a protein development cycle, which will be specifically tailored towards applications. As an international partner, the well known Zuse-Institute (ZIB) in Berlin (Germany) will join this Mathematics of Generative AI for Protein Design (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .
