Very nice overview on what seems to be a fantastic tool to predict/design binders e.g., for drug development. Super powerful!
1/13 🧵 Today, Bindcraft was published in @Nature , one of the most famous AIs in biology for designing protein–protein interactions (PPI). In my opinion. Bindcraft represents one of the most important advances in the post–AlphaFold2 era.
