DeepMind AI breakthrough helps solve how diseases invade cells by predicting protein structures

Google’s artificial intelligence unit took a giant step to predict the structure of proteins, potentially decoding a problem that has been described as akin to mapping the genome.DeepMind Technologies’ AlphaFold reached the threshold for “solving” the problem at the latest Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction competition. The event started in 1994 and is held every two years to accelerate research on the topic.Different folds in a protein determine how it will interact with other…
