Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne May 13 2026 Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger chemical cascades that alter cellular behavior. Understanding how proteins fold and move is therefore essential for developing drugs that interact well with their targets. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a very useful tool to generate novel protein
