GPT-6 Astra designs non-natural GFP-IL2 fusion protein in 9 minutes
DeryaTR_ · x · 2026-09-07
A user asked GPT-6 Astra to build 3D structures of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and interleukin-2 (IL-2), then design a fusion protein combining them — something that doesn't occur naturally — using AlphaFold. It completed on their machine in 9 minutes. The author is excited about Astra's potential for biomedical research and is building more, currently limited only by token budget.
