Beginning
Three scientists who developed methods to predict the structure of proteins and build new ones have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The winners were American David Baker, a professor at the University of Washington; Briton Demis Hassabis, head of Google’s DeepMind research laboratory in London; and American John Jumper, a top researcher at DeepMind. The lab centers on artificial intelligence (AI) methods.
Protein is one of the most important substances to life on Earth. Baker succeeded in building new kinds of proteins. Hassabis and Jumper solved a problem that had existed for 50 years. They were finally able to use AI to predict the structure of proteins.
