Accelerating the search for antimicrobial peptides with Google Antigravity

AI summary

Google describes how its agentic development platform, Google Antigravity, lets biologists discover, structurally evaluate and prioritize antimicrobial peptide candidates in a single session, using ProtNLM to scan millions of uncharacterized UniProt proteins. A technical walkthrough shows a researcher and agent identifying a novel antimicrobial peptide candidate with predicted activity against respiratory tract infection pathogens, now undergoing wet-lab validation. The post also introduces the Biomolecular Structure Viewer, a 3D visualization tool embedded in Antigravity that shares visual state between researcher and agent.
