The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to David Baker for computational protein design and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper of Google DeepMind for protein structure prediction.
Dr. Hassabis and Dr. Jumper's A.I. model AlphaFold2 has revolutionized protein structure prediction, calculating the structure of all human proteins in mere minutes.
Before AlphaFold, scientists could take months or decades to pinpoint the precise shape of proteins. This A.I. can now accomplish that task in hours.
The technology, AlphaFold, solved the protein folding problem that scientists had struggled with for over 50 years, enabling rapid and reliable predictions of protein shapes.
