Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has uncovered new information about a bacterial weapon system that functions like a microscopic syringe. Using artificial intelligence, the researchers identified over 2,000 potential toxins that are likely injected by this syringe-like mechanism. Some of these toxins could potentially be used as new antimicrobials, leading to new ways to treat infections and create biotechnological tools. The study's findings have broad applications in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology, and highlight the power of combining biology with artificial intelligence to solve complex problems.
