Forecasts on how proteins are translated into unique three - dimensional shape have constantly caught scientists for half a century.
London-based Artificial Intelligence Laboratory DeepMind has managed to solve this scientific problem, the organisers of this challenge have said, writes the BBC, translates Periscopi.
A better understanding of protein forms can play a vital role in the development of new drugs to treat disease.
New interventions by DeepMind are expected to speed up research into various diseases, including Coddy-19.
Their programme determined the shape of proteins at a level of accuracy comparable to very expensive laboratory methods and taking too long, they said.
Dr. Andriy Kryshtafovych, from the University of Kalifria (UC), Davis in the US, described the achievement as a truly amazing “”.
To be able to investigate the shape of proteins quickly and precisely has the potential to revolutionise scientific life,” he said. /Periscope
