Google’s triumph on the Nobel stage resolves a 50-year-old mystery

AlphaFold 2, an AI model developed through Google’s DeepMind initiative, cracked the code for predicting complex protein structures from amino acid sequences. It resulted in the accurate prediction of nearly 200 million known proteins. AlphaFold has been used by over two million researchers globally, in areas such as antibiotic resistance and creating enzymes capable of breaking down plastics.
