Proteins were once only created by nature. But it’s now possible to design completely new proteins from scratch using AI.

AI-designed proteins could become powerful drugs battling medical scourges, sentinels for the environment, or even the building blocks of synthetic life—including dangerous new pathogens. AI-generated structures could pollute the databases scientists rely on to test theories or tweak protein functions.
