Key features and achievements of AlphaProteo include:
- Trained on extensive protein data from the Protein Data bank and AlphaFold predictions.
- Capable of designing "binder" proteins that attach to specific targets.
- Successfully generated binders for seven different target proteins.
- Produced binders 3 to 300 times stronger than current methods.
- Created the first-ever binder for VFA, a protein linked to cancer and diabetes complications.
- Achieved an 88% success rate in binding to BHRF1, a viral protein.
- Designed effective binders for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, potentially aiding in virus prevention.
