We think enzymes are super cool! You can build molecular assembly lines at the atomic scale with them. Many pharmaceuticals are already manufactured with enzymes such as the diabetes drug Januvia. Engineering them is a big bottleneck though - takes years and millions of dollars. We want to speed this up with AI-powered design. Next step is ligand-protein prediction capability of AlphaFold3, which is also super useful for modelling enzyme-substrate interactions.
Possibly because it dovetails with pharma mfg and [potentially] food mfg. Could see a case made for enzymatically brewed 'meat inks' [very sorry for this term ;p] for 3d printing the next gen of lab meats.
