Canberra, July 10 -- In a big breakthrough in science and technology, Australian scientists have used AI to create a synthetic protein that kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria like E. coli.
This marks the first time an Australian team has generated a ready-to-use biological protein using AI, placing them alongside countries like the United States and China in rapidly generating thousands of proteins for faster, more affordable drug development and diagnostics, the Melbourne-based Monash University said today.
The team developed the AI Protein Design Platform using advanced AI-driven tools, including recently developed software to rapidly create custom proteins for pharmaceutical and diagnostic applications, said a Monash Universit...
