Harnessing AI to Enhance Photosynthesis Enzymes for Heat-Resilient Crops
Introduction to AI in Crop Resilience As global temperatures rise, the agricultural sector faces challenges in maintaining crop productivity. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising tools to address these issues by optimizing biological components of plants. One such approach involves improving photosynthesis enzymes to develop crops that withstand heat stress. Role of Photosynthesis Enzymes in Plant Health Photosynthesis enzymes are critical for converting sunlight into chemical energy, fueling plant growth. However, these enzymes often lose efficiency under high temperatures, reducing crop yields. Enhancing their stability and function is essential for sustaining agriculture in warmer climates. AI-Based Protein Structure Prediction Recent advancements in AI enable detailed prediction of protein structures. These models analyze amino acid sequences to forecast three-dimensional shapes of enzymes, providing insights into their stability and interaction with other molec...
