Artificial intelligence predicts the shapes of molecules to come

Now, any biochemist can speed their work in much the same way. On Thursday, DeepMind released the predicted shapes of more than 350,000 proteins -- the microscopic mechanisms that drive the behavior of bacteria, viruses, the human body and all other living things. This new database includes the 3D structures for all proteins expressed by the human genome, as well as those for proteins that appear in 20 other organisms, including the mouse, fruit fly and E. coli bacterium.
