Google DeepMind co-founder shares Nobel Chemistry Prize
Better understanding proteins has driven huge breakthroughs in medicine. Mr Hassabis and Prof Jumper used artificial intelligence to predict the structures of almost all known proteins and created a tool called AlphaFold2. The committee called it a "complete revolution" in chemistry, and the tool is now used for 200 million proteins worldwide. Professor Baker used amino acids to design a new protein, opening the door to the creation of new proteins used in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other tools. Prof Baker told the committee shortly after the announcement that he was "very excited and very honoured".
