Bio-Origami: The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AI Protein Folding (DeepMind)
Manage episode 445123723 series 3605861
The provided sources detail the groundbreaking work of three scientists who were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to protein structure prediction using artificial intelligence. David Baker, a biochemist, developed a computer program to create entirely new proteins, while Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, from Google DeepMind, developed an AI model called AlphaFold that accurately predicts the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences. This powerful tool has revolutionized structural biology by making it possible to predict the structure of nearly all known proteins, significantly accelerating research in diverse fields such as drug development and disease research.
