AlphaFold - The Most Useful Thing AI Has Ever Done

AI solved protein folding, predicting 200 million structures in years instead of decades. This breakthrough accelerates drug discovery, vaccine development, and solutions for climate change and disease.

• 🌐 AlphaFold 2 uses a transformer architecture called EVO Former, processing evolutionary and geometric data.
• 🧬 It predicts protein structures with accuracy indistinguishable from experimental results, achieving a CASP score over 90.
• 🔬 This AI advancement has already helped develop malaria vaccines and antibiotic resistance treatments.
• 🧪 New proteins can now be designed from scratch using AI, like synthetic anti-venoms and enzymes for carbon capture.
