Your feedback and inputs will help us move forward with our ambitious plans and projects. Our objectives are Training and Consultancy services to those who would like to know more and want to use this Artificial Inteligence.
Deepmind.com have created an AI system known as AlphaFold.
It was taught by showing it the sequences and structures of around 100,000 known proteins. Experimental techniques for determining structures are painstakingly laborious and time consuming and huge investment too.
The latest version can now predict the shape of a protein, at scale and in minutes, down to atomic accuracy.This is a significant breakthrough and highlights the impact AI can have on science.

Frequently asked questions
It’s been made AlphaFold predictions freely available to anyone in the scientific community.
The AlphaFold network directly predicts the 3D coordinates of all heavy atoms for a given protein using the primary amino acid sequence and aligned sequences of homologous as inputs.
AlphaFold is a scientific achievement of the first order. It represents the first time that AI has significantly advanced the frontiers of humanity’s scientific knowledge.
On the competition’s preferred global distance test (GDT) measure of accuracy, the program achieved a median score of 92.4 (out of 100), meaning that more than half of its predictions were scored at better than 92.4%.
