The AlphaFold system uses large genomic datasets to generate 3D models of protein structure more accurately than ever before.
A study published in Nature has demonstrated how artificial intelligence (AI) research can drive and accelerate new scientific discoveries.
Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind has created a dedicated, interdisciplinary team to explore using AI to predict the 3D structure of a protein based solely on its genetic sequence.
Its system, AlphaFold, builds on prior research using large genomic datasets to predict protein structure.
Many diseases are linked to malformed protein, and predicting how chains of amino acids will fold into the 3D structure of a protein has challenged scientists for decades.
WHY IT MATTERS
The 3D models of proteins that AlphaFold generates are...
