Meta AI Unlocks Hundreds of Millions of Proteins to Aid Drug Discovery 🧬

🧬 Meta Platforms has developed a new AI-based computer program known as ESMFold that predicts protein structures promising to deepen scientists' understanding of biology and speed up the discovery of new drugs. 💻 Rather than using microscopes, the ESMFold model uses the same technology as ChatGPT - a large language model that predicts text responses. Meta scientists gave the ESMFold program a series of letters representing the amino acids that form a protein's genetic code, and ESMFold then learned how to fill in the missing sections in the sequence.
