DeepMind's AlphaFold 2: Accelerating Drug Discovery with AI

DeepMind has unveiled the newest iteration of its revolutionary AlphaFold system for protein structure prediction which was released back in 2020. This latest AlphaFold 2 model promises to accelerate drug discovery and design like never before.

Details:

• Expanded capabilities: The new AlphaFold can now predict the structures of ligands, nucleic acids, and post-translational protein modifications in addition to proteins.

• Applications for drug discovery: Predicting protein-ligand structures enables researchers to identify and design novel drug compounds. AlphaFold eliminates the need for current docking simulations.

• Enhanced accuracy: Preliminary tests demonstrate AlphaFold dramatically exceeds its predecessor at predicting antibody structures.

AlphaFold is already being applied by DeepMind's drug discovery spinoff, Isomorphic Labs. Its capabilities will likely lead to faster and cheaper drug development across the industry.
