Breakthrough in AI Solves Protein Folding Problem Worldwide
A significant advancement in biology was recorded in 2020 when London-based artificial intelligence company DeepMind unveiled AlphaFold, an AI system that solved the decades-long “protein folding problem.” The challenge, which involved predicting the 3D shape of proteins from their genetic code, had long been considered nearly impossible. AlphaFold achieved significant accuracy in predicting protein structures,
