Abstract

The rapid advancements in deep learning technologies are revolutionizing the field of protein structure prediction, significantly impacting drug discovery and development. This paper explores the transformative role of deep learning models in predicting protein structures, which are essential for understanding biological processes and designing effective therapeutic agents. Traditional methods of protein structure prediction, such as homology modeling and threading, have been limited by their computational complexity and reliance on known structures. In contrast, deep learning approaches leverage vast datasets of protein sequences and structures, enabling more accurate predictions and insights into protein functionality. This paper discusses the various deep learning architectures used for protein structure prediction, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and transformer models. Furthermore, it highlights case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of these models in drug discovery, particularly in identifying novel drug candidates and optimizing existing ones. The implications of enhanced protein structure prediction for personalized medicine and therapeutic interventions are also examined. Ultimately, this research underscores the potential of deep learning to accelerate drug discovery processes and improve treatment outcomes in various diseases.
