Like a molecular shrink ray, AI tool redesigns proteins without sacrificing function

Researchers at Duke University School of Medicine developed an AI tool called Raygun that redesigns proteins while keeping their function. Rohit Singh said, "Protein language models act as a kind of translator." This new method helps scientists create modified proteins for biological research and future medicines by using standardized mathematical representations.
