Summary
Proteins that didn't evolve in the environment randomly can yield antibiotics and other medicines, and this research has implications beyond healthcare - for example, fungicides in agriculture can be derived from it too. The marginal cost of such research is declining thanks to large tech firms like Meta and Google.
