Our AlphaFold pilot workshop, which took place in October 2024 in Douala, Cameroon, trained 20 scientists in AlphaFold structure prediction and experimental validation workflows4,5,6. The success of ...

The unveiling of the Isomorphic Labs Drug Design Engine (IsoDDE) represents a fundamental shift from merely predicting the shape of biological life to actively engineering its functions. While ...

WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research project that changed biology and chemistry forever. To understand what the ...

Google DeepMind cofounder and CEO Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, a senior researcher at the company, shared the 2024 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their work on AlphaFold, an AI model that predicts ...

“I’ll be shocked if we don’t see more and more LLM impact on science,” says John Jumper. In 2017, fresh off a PhD on theoretical chemistry, John Jumper heard rumors that Google DeepMind had moved on ...

Proteins are crucial for life. They’re made of amino acids that “fold” into millions of different shapes. And depending on their structure, they do radically different things in our cells. For a long ...

Thank you very much for providing this excellent AlphaFold tutorial. I have followed all the steps and successfully ran all modules, and finally obtained a visualization of the predicted structure.

The Alphafold machine learning system for predicting a protein’s structure from its amino acid sequence has been adapted to make it possible to design de novo proteins that fold in a particular way ...

The people behind the original protein modeling tool Alphafold have now developed a newer version, Alphafold 3, which is changing the way that this fundamental technology works. Looking at the changes ...

Proteins are the microscopic workhorses of the human body, driving everything from oxygen transport to muscle contraction. Their complex 3D structures dictate their function, and understanding these ...

In 2020, news headlines repeated John Moult’s words at the end of a stunning competition: Artificial intelligence had “solved” a long-standing grand challenge in biology, protein structure prediction.
