AI found a way to stop a virus before it enters cells
Researchers discovered a hidden molecular “switch” that herpes viruses rely on to invade cells. By combining AI, simulations, and lab experiments, they identified and altered a single amino acid that shut down viral entry. What once might have taken years was achieved far faster using computational tools. The findings open new possibilities for designing future antiviral treatments.
Researchers have identified a hidden molecular “switch” that herpes viruses use to invade cells. Combining artificial intelligence, computer simulations and laboratory experiments, a scientific team from Washington State University in the US identified and modified an amino acid, which prevented the virus from entering cells. This achievement opens new perspectives for the design of future antiviral therapies. Their study, published in the scien…
