Yes, thanks for sharing, very interesting!

Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to simulate, for a given
chemical structure:
- which proteins (or other bio-molecules) it interacts with
- how that interaction changes the function of the bio-molecule
- how changed function of molecules change biological networks and
systemic function
However, what the article says sounds more limited:
"... a database of 73 proteins ..."

Eventually.
Take care
