Improving the predictive performance of binding affinities and poses for protein–cyclic peptide complexes through fine-tuned MM/PBSA(GBSA)-based methods

Abstract Cyclic peptides represent a highly promising class of biopharmaceutical scaffolds. The screening of cyclic peptides against protein targets can be greatly facilitated using computational approaches, especially molecular docking. However, it remains a crucial challenge to accurately predict protein–cyclic pepti...

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Introducing Quine: An AI research system designed for the complexity of biology

Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition allows and prioritize hypotheses before they reach the lab. Experimental results provide important feedback, helping researchers sharpen future research directions. The post Introducing Q…
