Demis Hassabis (CEO of Deep Mind) and John M. Jumper have useed artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. David Baker has learned how to master life’s building ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The shared culprit in a slew of diseases — cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes — is molecules our cells have made incorrectly. Think of them as proteins gone wrong.

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded proteins ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...
