"AI Predicts Functions of Unknown Proteins with New Tool"

A new AI tool called DeepGO-SE has been developed to predict the function of unknown proteins, outperforming existing methods and even analyzing proteins with no clear matches in existing datasets. Developed by KAUST bioinformatics researcher Maxat Kulmanov and colleagues, the tool employs logical entailment to draw meaningful conclusions about molecular functions based on general biological principles. It has been successful in predicting the functions of poorly understood proteins and is being used to investigate enigmatic proteins in plants thriving in extreme environments, with potential applications in drug discovery, disease associations, and more.
