Researchers use artificial intelligence language tools to decode molecular movements: Algorithms–like the ones that fill in words as people type–can learn to predict how and when proteins form different shapes. – Science Daily

By applying natural language processing tools to the movements of protein molecules, University of Maryland scientists created an abstract language that describes the multiple shapes a protein molecule can take and how and when it transitions from one shape to another.A protein molecule’s function is often determined by its shape and structure, so understanding the dynamics that control shape and structure can open a door to understanding everything from how a protein works to the causes of dise…
