Meet Jerry Xu, the 17-year-old Massachusetts student who built an AI program that turns protein structures into strings of numbers; he won $90,000
- Jerry Xu's AI model is designed to compare the structures of proteins and amino acids rapidly.
- The structure of proteins gives important clues to how these molecules function.
- (Images: istock and Society for Science)Imagine, what if a protein's complex 3-D structure could be converted into a simple string of numbers—and that string could help scientists understand what the protein does?
