Good news! Amazing stuff!
"AlphaFold2 — the revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) tool that predicts highly accurate 3D structures of proteins from sequence data — was unveiled by its creators at Google DeepMind five years ago this month.
An update of the tool, AlphaFold3, was released last year. It can predict how potential therapeutics could interact with proteins. It may take a while for AlphaFold’s biological insights to translate to drug discovery, but the platform has already established itself as top dog in the protein-structure prediction arena.
One analysis identified more than 200,000 studies that used AlphaFold directly or indirectly, encompassing work by nearly 800,000 scientists. ..."
"... The 2021 release of AlphaFold2’s code and a database that has swelled to hundreds of millions of predicted structures mean that scientists can now get a reliable prediction for almost any protein. ...
Some 3.3 million users in more than 190 countries have accessed the AlphaFold database (AFDB), which is hosted by EMBL–EBI and contains more than 240 million structural predictions, encompassing most known proteins. More than one million AFDB users come from low- and middle-income countries, including China and India ..."
AlphaFold is five years old — these charts show how it revolutionized science "Since it was unveiled in 2020, Google DeepMind’s game-changing AI tool has helped researchers all over the world to predict the 3D structures of hundreds of millions of proteins."
Very impressive!
