For the first of these tasks Dr Baker and his colleagues use RF diffusion, an AI model they have developed to predict a ...

Every protein in the body is encased in a water shell that directs protein structure, provides vital stability and steers ...

Predicting proteins’ structure from their amino acid sequences had stumped researchers since the 1970s. But in 2020, Hassabis and Jumper developed an artificial intelligence model called AlphaFold2.

Understanding protein structure. DeepMind, represented by Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, had developed AIs that managed to master games as diverse as chess and StarCraft.

Work on protein structure and design wins the 2024 chemistry Nobel. Proteins drive much of the chemistry underlying all life on Earth. David Baker (left) figured out how to build new proteins.

Nanoparticles (NPs) are materials whose dimensions range from 1 to 1,000 nanometers (nm). Due to their nano-scale dimensions ...
