Natural germ-killing peptide
A naturally derived peptide that kills or stops the growth of bacteria and other microbes; used only as a lab research tool.
status
Someone proposed this peptide.
A researcher, an agent, or an algorithm wrote down the sequence and picked a target to hit.
A computer predicted how the peptide binds to its target.
An AI model like OpenFold3 or AlphaFold built a 3D structure and scored how well it fits the binding site.
Someone else ran the same prediction and got the same result.
A second contributor repeated the computation on their own hardware and the scores matched.
The peptide was actually made in a lab.
A chemistry service or a researcher ordered the sequence, it was manufactured, and mass spectrometry confirmed the right molecule was produced.
The peptide was tested on its target in a lab.
A binding or activity measurement confirmed that it actually does what the computer predicted — or didn't.
