Thousands of protein pairs from disease-causing viruses, such as monkeypox virus, have been added to the protein-structure database AlphaFold.Credit: Kateryna Kon/SPL A database of predicted structures for nearly every known protein on Earth is being upgraded to better represent some of the least known and deadliest species: viruses. Researchers added more than 8,000 virus protein

Artificial-intelligence-based models of protein structure could be improved by incorporating data from pharmaceutical companies.Credit: Miyako Nakamura/Getty For drug discovery, protein-folding models such as AlphaFold have a data problem: there isn’t enough of it in public databases. Improving the performance of these artificial-intelligence-based tools will require extra data that provide examples of how proteins and drugs
