The King of Sweden, of the Sciences awarded the Nobel prize 2024 in Chemistry by David Baker for the design of protein in accounting and dyshes of Demis Hassabis, and John M. Jumper, for the prediction of the structure of the protein. Two of the scientists of the past were, respectively the CEO and a Scientist, Senior Research of Google's DeepMind. In addition, in this case (as in physics) was awarded the use of artificial intelligence in scientific research.
The structure of the protein in the AlphaFold 2
David Baker, he was born in Seattle on October 6, 1962 and is an associate professor at the University of Washington, is the building of a protein”. The proteins, in general, made up of 20 amino acids, the so-called blocks of life. Copper used in these building blocks, in the year of 2003 to create a protein that (Top7), in contrast to each other, and made up of 93 amino acids. The group, his research has been produced then the protein can be used as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, nanomaterials and sensors to be small.
Demis Hassabis (born in London on the 27th of July, 1976), and John M. Jumper (born in Little Rock in 1985), they have developed in the place of that AlphaFold is 2, an example of artificial intelligence that allows you to predict the structure of 3D, beginning with the sequence of the amino acids) and almost all of the over 200 proteins, identified on the Earth. AlphaFold 3 was announced at the beginning of may.
By the year of 2020, and it took years to get the structure of a protein. The AlphaFold 2 need to be alone for a few minutes. A model of HIM up to now, it has been used by over two million people in 190 countries. AlphaFold 2 has been used in many applications and research, including the understanding of resistance to antibiotics, and the creation of enzymes that can be dekompozojnë plastics.
