RE: Did We Find A Cure Against Cancer? The Promise of PROTACs

in #steemstem7 years ago

As artificial Intelligence comes of age we are gonna see Biotech actually be capable of understanding protein structure enough to understand the folding structures and compliment the disease's protein and make a complimentary match to target them. The next 10-20 years could be fairly huge for the war against diseases of all sorts.

Yeah, there is still a need to understand how the proteins assume their final configuration. The folding often requires molecular chaperones and other enzymes and immitating that system is very hard to do. But computer aided studies will help. Cheers!
