Google's AI aces protein prediction competition | Research
By Kira Welter2020-12-09T14:30:00+00:00 Deep-learning network AlphaFold2 – trained on about 170,000 protein structures – has caused great excitement in the scientific community A team at Google offshoot DeepMind say that their artificial intelligence (AI) network has made a huge leap solving the 50-year-old protein folding problem after it outcompeted all other teams at in a protein structure prediction challenge. The program has been received with enthusiasm by researchers worldwide who say it could revolutionise biology, in particular areas such as drug design or environmental sust...
