AlphaFold – AI breakthrough unfolding a new path for Protein Research
Recently, on the 30th of November, 2020, a new milestone in Protein Research was achieved when the results of the 14th biennial Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) challenge were announced. AlphaFold – a program developed by DeepMind, an Artificial Intelligence research lab affiliated with Google and its parent company was successful in predicting protein structure from its amino acid sequence comparable with the experimental results with a GDT score of 92.4.
