A new study showed how AI machine learning can help improve enzyme design for the synthesis of galantamine.
Galantamine is a drug that may help improve the cognitive ability of patients diagnosed with dementia. machine learning can help guide and improve enzyme design for the synthesis of galantamine, a drug used to treat patients withand Alzheimer's disease. This study demonstrates the powerful potential of the combination of AI and directed evolution in the industrial-scale production of important medications in the future.
Galantamine may help improve the cognitive ability of patients diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in learning andby Paul Francis. Galantamine, the generic drug for Razadyne™, Reminyl™, and Nivalin®, is a small molecule capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier that has been approved by the U.S.
