Machine Learning Boosts Production of Licorice-Derived Drug Molecule
Original: Machine Learning and Molecular Scaffolds Supercharge Production of a Licorice-Derived Drug Molecule
Researchers report that combining machine learning with molecular scaffold engineering has significantly increased production of a drug molecule originally derived from licorice. The approach uses computational models to optimize biosynthesis, potentially making plant-derived pharmaceuticals cheaper and more sustainable to manufacture. The work highlights how AI tools are being applied to speed up drug compound production in biotechnology.
Why now: Interest in AI-driven biotechnology advances that could make drug manufacturing faster and cheaper
