Sketching Proteins with Bare Hands in VR (UIST 2023 Poster) - 3 min. presentation

Sketching Proteins with Bare Hands in VR
UIST '23: ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology
Recent developments in AI have made it possible to design new proteins that are crucial to meeting humanity’s needs. However, tools for exploring the 3D structures of proteins in the early stages of AI-based protein design are lacking, leading to many preventable trials and errors and much wasted time and efforts in the design process. To address this, we propose a novel VR interaction system that enables synthetic biologists to intuitively author the 3D structures of proteins with their bare hands.

I have been waiting for this approach 20 years. Whatching with disappointment null advances on pdb viewer. Other areas like rosseta and alpha fold has their merit. But nothing like this. Trial and error will help to improve the accuracy of this software. This is a gigantic step in protein folding understanding for current anf futures generations (I hope they use it ethically)
