Definition

AlphaFold is DeepMind's AI system that predicts protein structures from amino acid sequences, solving a 50-year-old biology challenge.

How It Works

AlphaFold uses deep learning to predict how protein chains fold into 3D shapes. It learned from known protein structures and can now predict new ones with remarkable accuracy.

The system considers physical and chemical constraints to determine the most likely configuration.

Why It Matters

AlphaFold revolutionized biological research by making protein structure prediction fast and accessible. What took months or years in a lab now takes hours on a computer.

This breakthrough accelerates drug discovery, disease research, and our understanding of life itself.
