By combining machine learning, molecular dynamics simulations and experiments it has been possible to design antimicrobial peptides from scratch.1 The approach by researchers at IBM is an important advance in a field where data is scarce and trial-and-error design is expensive and slow.
Antimicrobial peptides small molecules consisting of 12 to 50 amino acids are promising drug candidates for tackling antibiotic resistance. The co-evolution of antimicrobial peptides and bacterial phyla over millions…
