About DeepMind AlphaFold
AlphaFold, developed by DeepMind (Google), is an AI system that predicts the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence with revolutionary accuracy. In 2020, AlphaFold 2 achieved protein structure prediction accuracy that rivals experimental methods, solving a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology. AlphaFold has since predicted the structures of over 200 million proteins—essentially all known proteins—and made these structures freely available through the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database. This has had a profound impact on drug discovery, vaccine development, enzyme engineering, and fundamental biological research worldwide.
Pros
- Predicts protein structures with near-experimental accuracy
