Vibe genes? Natural(ish) language comes to protein, genome design software
You can apparently now tell AI tools what sort of protein you want them to make.
Summary
You can apparently now tell AI tools what sort of protein you want them to make. Protein design tools may be getting increasingly sophisticated , but you still need a sophisticated understanding of protein structure for them to work. This can include knowing enzyme mechanisms down to the positions of specific amino acids, as well as the water molecules that also occupy the area where catalysis takes place. Once you specify these, the tools can build the rest of a protein around this target.
AI summaries can be wrong sometimes—always verify important details using the source article.
