Faster Prediction Is Only Half the Loop. Faster Understanding Is the Other Half.
I keep thinking about the same line in Google DeepMind's new blog post: Antigravity for Science accelerating the search for novel antimicrobial peptides. It's a genuinely exciting direction β and a reminder of how fast computational biology now moves from sequence to candidate.
But here's the part that rarely makes the headline. Every one of those pipelines still ends with a human looking at a structure and asking, "does this binding pocket make sense?"
That act of looking has been stuck on flat screens for decades. Rotating a 300-residue protein with a mouse. Squinting at depth cues. Mentally reconstructing a 3D cavity from a 2D projection. It works β but it's a translation step, and translation costs insight.
NexoPeek is a Meta Quest VR molecular laboratory built for exactly that gap.β¦
