AlphaFold3 predicts protein behavior, aiding various industries with accuracy
The Guardian — May 8, 2024, 05:00 PM UTC
Google DeepMind's AlphaFold3 can predict protein behavior, aiding breakthroughs in medicine, materials, and agriculture. Trained on a global database, it predicts protein interactions with 62-76% accuracy. Researchers can access it for non-commercial use. Users anticipate transformative applications in disease research, drug design, and crop improvement. Despite its strengths, AlphaFold3 requires lab validation and struggles with predicting protein shape changes in living systems.
