AlphaFold
🧬 The story behind AlphaFold and this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry
This year's Nobel Prize in chemistry is a massive breakthrough that solves a 50-year-old challenge within biology. It was solved with the help of AI. But that was just the beginning. In two texts, Warp News has previously told the story and effects of AI and the protein folding problem.
🧬 AlphaFold 3 is here! Predicting structures of almost all biological molecules and their interactions
AlphaFold 3 is designed to predict the structure and interactions between biological molecules. Experimentally investigating these interactions can be time-consuming and costly. If these interactions can instead be accurately computed, biological research could be significantly expedited.
🧬 AlphaFold's goes beyond protein – will speed up drug discovery
AI AlphaFold expands beyond proteins to various biomolecule structures. This opens new horizons in drug discovery and disease understanding.
🧫 An incredible breakthrough – which almost no one has heard of
Humans have struggled with one of the grand challenges of biology, namely understanding how proteins are designed. Suddenly, last year, it was solved by an AI. The event happened to be the start of something even greater...
🧬 From games to science breakthrough - the story of AlphaFold
The history of computers competing against humans is long, and often attracts enormous attention. But what is it good for? What does it matter if a computer can win in chess, Go, or Starcraft? We got the answer when AlphaFold solved a 50-year old grand challenge in biology.
