The Moment That Changed Biology Forever
In November 2020, DeepMind's AlphaFold solved what many scientists considered one of the hardest problems in biology: predicting how proteins fold into their three-dimensional shapes from their amino acid sequences.
Proteins are the molecular machinery of every living cell. Understanding their shape is essential to understanding how they function, and how drugs can interact with them. The protein folding problem had been unsolved for fifty years. Thousands of researchers across hundreds of labs had spent careers on it. AlphaFold solved it in months,...
