AlphaFold, developed by Google DeepMind, utilizes AI to significantly transform the prediction of protein structures, allowing researchers to obtain these insights in minutes rather than years. By leveraging a massive database of experimentally solved protein structures, it simplifies the understanding of protein functions and aids in drug design. Since its introduction, AlphaFold has generated approximately 250 million protein structures, becoming an invaluable resource used by nearly 2 million scientists globally, greatly enhancing the pace and scale of biological research and innovation.
AlphaFold can determine a protein's 3D structure in minutes, radically transforming drug discovery and providing insights into protein function previously inaccessible to researchers.
Trained on the Protein Data Bank, AlphaFold predicts structures based on amino acid sequences, eliminating the years-long challenges of X-ray crystallography.
