Researchers studying an unfamiliar virus need clues about its proteins before they can investigate potential drug or vaccine targets. AI-predicted structures can provide a starting point quickly, although experiments are still needed to test the predictions.
NVIDIA, in collaboration with Google Deepmind and several other research partners, has announced the release of a predicted dataset of 3D structures for protein complexes from more than 2,800 viruses, including those known to infect humans. The predictions are freely available through the AlphaFold Database’s Pandemic Preparedness Portal, developed by Google DeepMind and EMBL-EBI.
NVIDIA says that they want to equip researchers with the tools to fight the...
