DeepMind's AlphaFold

AlphaFold, developed by DeepMind, is an artificial intelligence system that predicts the 3D structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences. Proteins are essential molecules in biology, and knowing their shapes helps scientists understand their functions and develop medicines. Traditionally, determining protein structures is time-consuming and complex. AlphaFold uses advanced machine learning techniques to model these structures quickly and accurately, significantly accelerating biomedical research. Its ability to predict protein shapes with high precision marks a major breakthrough in understanding biological processes and advancing drug discovery.
