So you have different scenarios, and for them, you have different ways of working with them.

And so the idea is that you can train artificial intelligence models on this information about the sequence of a protein, so the sequence of amino acids that compose a protein,

or you can train models on the structures of proteins or you can train them on both and then in the computer after like a few days or weeks of work you will have a set of different sequences that will encode these structures or these different brain functions and then what you do after that is that you

backtrack those designs from protein information into DNA information, so another form of alphabet.

And then you purchase those genes from these companies that synthesize your genes and then put them into different bacterial or animal cells for expression of these proteins and then testing them out in the lab.

And hopefully, afterwards, you will test them out in real-case scenarios, such as a pilot plan for plastic degradation

in animal models for testing for like how to cure a disease.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was kind of a funny thing that happened when I was younger.

I think maybe I was like...

eight years old or something like that.

My mom, she had some like plastic pottery for plants that she was like growing in the garden.

And she said that the snails were eating through them.

I was like, there's no way that that can happen.

But the idea remained there for like a long time.

I was like thinking, oh, maybe it's possible.

But I just remembered that memory, right?

And then when I was like in university, I was actually

learning about biochemistry, like learning about like proteins and enzymes and all of these things.

And then we had a class about enzymes and how they perform like different chemical reactions.
