Protein-molecule interactions lie at the heart of many biological processes. Some of these molecules, such as ligands or drugs typically in nanometre scale, bind to proteins to modulate their activity. These small molecules often interact with cavities or pockets surrounded by amino acids in the protein, or occasionally with flat "cryptic" sites. Beyond conventional drugs, proteins interact with a diverse range of molecules, including nucleic acids, ions, and antibodies.

My decision-making abilities began to deteriorate, leading me to engage in self-destructive behaviors like choosing abusive partners. At night, I couldn’t stand to stay still. I couldn’t stand being me.

In this article, we discuss how generative AI can provide a shortcut for developing therapeutic candidates. In the world of complex biological networks, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is providing significant guidance to disease modelling and drug discovery processes.
