AI to predict protein structure millions time faster - RNG HEALTH

There is an escalating race to get to the bottom of predicting the 3D structures of proteins from their amino-acid sequences. It would not be wrong if it is said that it is one of the biggest challenges that the biological world face. Here again, thanks to the new artificial intelligence (AI) who comes to the rescue. At the completion of last year, Google's AI firm DeepMind introduced an algorithm called AlphaFold, which merged two techniques that were evolving in the field and defeated established contestants in a competition on a protein-structure prediction by an unexpected margin. And this year, in April, a US researcher discovered an algorithm that practices an entirely different approach.
