ABOUT

AlphaFold is an advanced AI system developed by DeepMind that predicts the 3D structures of proteins based on their amino acid sequences. This breakthrough addresses the longstanding “protein folding problem,” providing insights into biological processes and accelerating drug discovery. The latest iteration, AlphaFold 3, expands its capabilities to model interactions between proteins, DNA, RNA, ligands, ions, and chemical modifications, achieving near-atomic accuracy.
