Episode Synopsis


AlphaFold is an AI system developed by DeepMind that predicts a protein’s 3D structure from its amino acid sequence. It regularly achieves accuracy competitive with experiment, and is accelerating research in nearly every field of biology. Daniel and Chris delve into protein folding, and explore the implications of this revolutionary and hugely impactful application of AI.Featuring:Chris Benson – Website, GitHub, LinkedIn, XDaniel Whitenack – Website, GitHub, XShow Notes:AlphaFoldAlphaFold reveals the structure of the protein universeAlphaFold: Timeline of a breakthroughAlphaFold Protein Structure DatabaseGitHub: deepmind / alphafoldOxford Protein Informatics Group: AlphaFold 2 is here: what’s behind the structure prediction miracleNature: How AlphaFold can realize AI’s full potential in structural biologyNature: ‘The entire protein universe’: AI predicts shape of nearly every known proteinNature: Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFoldUpcoming Events: Register for upcoming webinars here!
