RibbonFold, a new AI developed by scientists at Rice University and Changping Lab, can predict how misfolded proteins contribute to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Unlike previous tools, RibbonFold can analyze these 'messy' proteins, revealing that they worsen over time and offering potential targets for drug development.
