David Baker's groundbreaking approach to computational protein design has opened new pathways in biomedicine, allowing for the creation of proteins with novel functions that were previously thought to be unattainable.
The Nobel committee commended Baker for his innovative use of amino acids, which has resulted in the design of entirely new proteins with potential applications in pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
Upon receiving the news of his Nobel Prize win, Baker humorously recounted his wife's enthusiastic reaction, highlighting the personal moment despite the momentous occasion.
Baker expressed his excitement to share the Nobel Prize with fellow winners Hassabis and Jumper, noting the significance of bridging the sequence-structure and structure-sequence problem in protein folding.
