AI makes huge progress predicting how proteins fold – one of biology's greatest challenges – promising rapid drug development
- Written by Marc Zimmer, Professor of Chemistry, Connecticut College
A simple chain of amino acids folds into a complex three-dimensional structure.Takeaways
A “deep learning” software program from Google-owned lab DeepMind showed great progress in solving one of biology’s greatest challenges – understanding protein folding.
Protein folding is the process by which a protein takes its shape...
