Biologists and computational scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently refined two artificial intelligence (AI) programs originally built by Meta, the company that owns Facebook, to predict protein shapes. Their new combined model, called ESMBind, can predict the 3D structure of proteins to reveal how they bind to nutrient metals like zinc and iron, which are essential for life.
