Scientists’ Side Hustle? Using AI and Quantum Computing to Generate New Peptides

Scientists from Technical University of Denmark used a quantum computer to improve the accuracy and reach of generative artificial intelligence drug discovery models. They used the hybrid technique to generate novel peptides capable of binding to specific proteins in the body. They believe the machine could accelerate the development of personalized immunotherapies and vaccines and improve the efficacy in understudied groups.
