Researchers at Auburn University, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Basel and ETH Zurich, have made a groundbreaking advance in the fight against cancer.
Auburn UniversitySep 5 2024 The team, led by Dr. Rafael Bernardi, Associate Professor of Biophysics in the Department of Physics, has developed a novel approach integrating artificial intelligence with molecular dynamics simulations and network analysis to enhance the prediction of binding sites on the PD-L1 protein. This breakthrough promises to accelerate the development of personalized cancer treatments by identifying critical interaction points in cancer-related proteins.
"Utilizing computational tools to engineer proteins represents the next frontier in cancer therapeutics," said Dr. Bernardi. "Our integrated approach combining AI, molecular dynamics, and network analysis holds immense potential for developing personalized therapies for cancer patients." Dr. Bernardi and his team have developed a sophisticated method that combines AlphaFold2-based AI tools with molecular dynamics simulations and dynamic network analysis. Their approach allowed them to predict and confirm key binding regions in the PD-L1 protein that are critical for drug interaction.
Related StoriesThe computational approach was validated with cutting-edge experimental techniques, including cross-linking mass spectrometry and next-generation sequencing. These experiments confirmed the accuracy of the team's predictions, demonstrating the power of combining computational models with experimental validation to unravel complex protein-protein interactions.
