- 1Machine Learning Boosts Production of Licorice-Derived Drug Molecule●Machine Learning and Molecular Scaffolds Supercharge Production of a Licorice-Derived Drug Molecule
Researchers report that combining machine learning with molecular scaffold engineering has sharply improved production of a drug molecule originally derived from licorice. The approach suggests engineered biosynthesis could make plant-based pharmaceutical compounds cheaper and more scalable, and it is drawing attention in biotech and synthetic biology circles as an example of AI accelerating drug manufacturing.
