Abstract:
The expansive field of drug discovery is continually seeking innovative approaches to identify and develop novel peptide-based therapeutics. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), there has been a transformative shift in the generation of new peptide drugs. AI offers a range of computational tools and algorithms that enables researchers to accelerate the therapeutic peptide pipeline. This review explores the current landscape of AI applications in peptide drug discovery, highlighting its potential, challenges, and ethical considerations. Additionally, it presents case studies and future prospectives that demonstrate the impact of AI on the generation of new peptide drugs.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
