  1. Nobel chemistry prize honors AlphaFold and David Baker

    The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences gave half of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper of Google DeepMind for protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, and half to David Baker of the University of Washington for computational protein design.

  2. DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs unveil AlphaFold 3

    Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced AlphaFold 3 on 8 May 2024, extending the protein-structure predictor to complexes of proteins with DNA, RNA, small-molecule ligands, and ions. The Nature paper reported at least a 50% accuracy gain over prior methods.
