Bonn Researchers Detail Drug AI Limits

Molecular diffusion models for drug design generate linkers based on distance constraints, not chemical principles, limiting their practical utility. Drug discovery teams must account for this mechanism, preparing for models that integrate more chemical context to optimise properties like potency and stability.
