Researchers use AI to design proteins that cut up other proteins
A protein is a chain of amino acids held together by what are called peptide bonds.
Ars Technica reports that a protein is a chain of amino acids held together by what are called peptide bonds.
On their own, those bonds are extremely stable; they're estimated to have a half-life of several hundred years. But in Earth's environment, most proteins don't last nearly that long.
