Several examples of reverse engineering show its usefulness. For instance, engineers in a steel mill needed to replace an aging 7,500-hp motor. The problem: The new motor would not fit on the old ...

De novo protein design. In 2024, David Baker won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design and the prize was shared with Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper for protein structure ...

Cradle is approaching the problem differently: they are using a generative model to “reverse engineer” proteins. You may have heard of or even used generative models like DALL-E that can ...

One example is ProtGPT2, which can engineer active proteins with shapes that could lead to new properties. Digital to Physical. These AI protein-design programs are raising alarm bells. Proteins are ...

As an example: A small protein that’s a chain of 100 amino acids, with 20 options for each of those 100 positions, has so many possibilities to test that you could do so until the sun burned out ...
