So, in which fields have artificial intelligence and synthetic biology been the first to make efforts?
For example, gene regulation and component design, precise grasp of small components
Design and optimization of regulatory elements such as promoters: Utilizing artificial intelligence technology to design novel gene promoters and regulatory elements to better control gene expression.
For example, by integrating biological prior knowledge through deep learning techniques, a generation model for regulatory elements can be established, generating a large number of promoters with specific functions and characteristics, providing richer and more efficient element selection for the construction of synthetic biological systems.
Design and construction of gene circuits: Utilizing artificial intelligence to design complex gene circuits and achieve precise regulation of cellular functions.
For example, designing gene circuits that can precisely control cells to produce specific products and perform specific functions based on specific environmental signals or input conditions can be applied in fields such as biopharmaceuticals and biosensing.
Design and discovery of new drugs: Utilizing the powerful computing and pattern recognition capabilities of artificial intelligence to design novel drug molecules based on the structure and characteristics of drug targets.
At the same time, virtual screening is conducted on a large number of compounds to predict their binding ability, biological activity, and toxicity to targets, quickly screening potential drug candidates, greatly improving the efficiency and success rate of drug development.
Drug efficacy and toxicity prediction: Based on artificial intelligence, a large amount of biological and drug data is analyzed to predict the efficacy and potential toxicity of drugs in different populations, providing a basis for the design of clinical trials and personalized treatment of drugs.
The Past and Present of Fermentation Optimization and Amplification Technology
For example, protein engineering and design, which is an area that Google, Nvidia and other Internet companies are focusing on
Protein structure prediction: Artificial intelligence technology can quickly and accurately predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins, providing a foundation for protein functional research and design. This is of great significance for understanding the mechanism of protein action, designing proteins with specific functions, and developing protein based drugs and materials.
Protein functional design: Based on specific needs and application scenarios, artificial intelligence is used to design proteins with specific functions, such as enzymes with high catalytic activity, antibodies with specific binding abilities, etc. And it can optimize the stability, solubility and other characteristics of proteins to improve their performance in practical applications.
Why is synthetic biology so popular?
In terms of industry applications, there is enormous potential in the fields of agriculture and food
Crop improvement: Through gene editing and synthetic biology techniques, combined with artificial intelligence analysis and prediction of crop genomes, cultivate crop varieties with excellent traits such as disease and pest resistance, drought tolerance, and high yield.
Synthesis and improvement of food ingredients: Utilizing synthetic biology to synthesize important ingredients in food, such as proteins, sweeteners, etc., or to improve the nutritional composition and taste of food to meet people's needs for healthy and delicious food.
