AlphaFold Insights

What is AlphaFold?

AlphaFold is an artificial intelligence program developed by DeepMind that predicts the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence. It is commonly used in biological research to accelerate the understanding of protein function, drug discovery, and materials science by providing accurate protein structure predictions, even for proteins where experimental determination has been difficult.
