Problem
Designing peptide-based drugs is slow and hindered by poor solubility, immunogenicity, toxicity and bioavailability.
Why it matters
Peptide therapeutics offer high-specificity treatments, but discovery timelines traditionally stretch over years.
What the AI did
Reviews how generative AI (structure prediction, generative design, interaction modelling) combined with peptide chemistry and autonomous synthesis accelerates discovery.
Results
Discovery timelines reduced from years to months (field-level claim, no specific benchmark)
Impact
Survey evidence that AI plus chemistry considerably accelerates peptide drug design.
