# AlphaProteo

**AlphaProteo** is an AI tool created by [[entity-google-deepmind|Google DeepMind]] that **designs completely new proteins** with specific novel properties, with potential applications in biomaterials and drug development.

**Role in this source:** A flagship example of [[concept-generative-biology|Generative Biology]] — AI *engineering* new biological components rather than merely analyzing existing ones.

> *Canonical reference (enrichment):* DeepMind research announcement and paper; produces novel proteins with useful binding properties — a strong example of AI for molecular design.
