Artificial intelligence program predicts 98.5% of human protein structure

A team led by researchers from the British company "Deep Thinking" recently published a report in the British "Nature" magazine that the company's artificial intelligence program "AlphaFold" (AlphaFold) predicts 98.
5% of the human protein structure, which is helpful for in-depth understanding.
Key biological information, so as to better carry out drug research and development

The human proteome refers to the collection of all proteins encoded by the human genome.
Considering the importance of understanding the human proteome to health and medicine, researchers have been making great efforts to determine the protein structure in it, but it is very difficult to predict the protein structure by ordinary experimental methods.
Time consuming
.

"Alpha Fold" is an artificial intelligence program developed by "Deep Thinking" that can be used to predict protein structure
.

Amino acids are subunits that are linked to form proteins

Demis Hassabis, one of the author of the report and the co-founder of "Deep Thinking", said in an article that it is only after understanding the structure of a machine that it is clear what it can do, so in-depth analysis of protein structure is helpful For us to understand its function
