New machine-learning algorithms may revolutionize drug discovery

08-Feb-2017

Key points from article :

University of Toronto Scarborough algorithms can generate 3D structures of nanoscale protein molecules.

Proteins can’t be seen directly without using sophisticated techniques like electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM).

3D structure pieced together from high-resolution 2D images.

Existing techniques often generate incorrect structures unless an expert user provides an accurate guess.

The study was published in the Nature Methods journal.
