DeepMind has unveiled the third version of its artificial intelligence -powered structural biology software, AlphaFold, which models how proteins fold.
By comparison, its predecessors, AlphaFold and AlphaFold2, could only predict the shapes that proteins fold into. That was still a major scientific breakthrough at the time. Given a list of molecules, the AI program can show how they fit together. It does this not only for large molecules like proteins, DNA, and RNA but also for small molecules known as ligands, which bind to receptors on large proteins like key fitting into a lock.
AlphaFold3 can perform these calculations because its underlying machine-learning architecture and training data encompasses every type of biomolecule. —'It would be within its natural right to harm us to protect itself': How humans could be mistreating AI without even knowing it
