Software Engineers Lead Drug Breakthough
It means many healthcare businesses are dramatically underpriced. Let me explain. Most modern drug therapies are based on scientists manipulating amino acids to make proteins. As the proteins develop they fold into extremely specific shapes that define their function. Prior to AlphaFold, the DeepMind algorithm, there was no way to reliably predict what 3D shape these proteins would form. This is why investing in biotechnology carries so much risk. Developing new molecular medicines is largely hit or miss. In theory AlphaFold erases the misses. It’s like a cheat sheet. With further computat...
