  "account": "DeepMind's research reveals accelerated search for new antimicrobial peptides, but questions remain about how quickly the structures can be understood. The search for novel peptides has become quicker due to improved computational pipelines, but the bottleneck might be in the understanding and explanation of the candidates. While structural biology tools like PyMOL, ChimeraX, and VMD have been developed over the years, most users still prefer to view structures in 2D on a flat screen. However, translating depth, ligand orientation, and spatial relationships into a 2D interface can be challenging for newcomers. The article explores the use of VR technology, specifically NexoPeek from Seven Sportz, to allow users to \"walk\" through large protein structures in a virtual reality environment, providing a more intuitive understanding of the molecules. The VR interface offers various views, including cartoon and ball-and-stick representations, and allows users to interact with the molecules in real-time. The article also discusses the trade-offs involved in developing such immersive tools, such as balancing the support for various file formats and the computational cost of rendering large structures in real-time. The author emphasizes that the purpose of these immersive tools is not to replace the computational pipeline but to enhance the visualization and understanding of structures, particularly in educational and research settings.",
  "summary": "항균 펩타이드 탐색은 빨라졌다. 구조를 이해하는 속도는 그대로인가 이번 주 뉴스레터는 딥마인드 소식 하나에서 시작합니다. 그리고 이번 호는 조금 다릅니다. 지난 몇 달 동안 저는 구조를 \"읽는\" 일과 구조를 \"보는\" 일 사이의 간극에 대해 계속 생각해 왔고, 마침 그 생각을 실제로 시험해 본 한 주였거든요. 이번 주의 신호 구글 딥마인드가 Google Antigravity for Science를 활용해 새로운 항균 펩타이드(antimicrobial peptides) 탐색을 가속하는 연구를 공개했습니다. 항생제 내성이 커지는 상황에서 신규 항균 펩타이드 후보를 빠르게 발굴하는 일은 매우 중요한 문제이고, 계산 파이프라인이 빨라진다는 것은 분명 의미 있는 진전입니다. 그런데 저는 이 뉴스를 읽으면서 다른 쪽이…",
