‘The entire protein universe’: AI predicts shape of nearly every known protein

And it is going to change everything!

Let me explain, all living things are made up of proteins. Which begin as strings of chemical compounds but then they fold into a 3d structure.

That 3d structure determines their function. Which means if you can predict how a protein is going to fold, say in to a cancer or Alzheimer's you can intercept it and treat it.

Scientist have been trying to crack that protein fold problem for decades.
Well artificial intelligence solved it.

The AI is called AlphaFold by Google's Deepmind Lab. The AI has gone on to predict the shape of nearly every protein known to science. Including all proteins expressed in the human genome!

The speed in which we will be able to understand disease and create new medicine will be incredible. We can truly start to uncover the mysteries of life. Even better learn to counter antibiotic resistance; the list is endless.

AlphaFold by Google's Deepmind Lab released 200 million predictions for scientists to use all around the world for free of charge.

By any chance is the AI six hundred and sixty six lines of code?

So it saw a bunch of labelled pictures of the protein structures and guessed them right in a novel viewing?

I’d prefer a cure for Alzheimer’s. It’s terrible watching someone go through this shit

Because of what OP is talking about someone will be able to pepper ur food with a drug that will turn u into a girl and make ur peepee fall off it's gonna happen.

elons chest is full of every one of these protean strings.
