VerifiedAlphaFold solved the protein folding problem that had puzzled the biology community for 50 years—namely, predicting the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence—through deep learning technology.73% similarUnverifiedAlphaFold3 extends to structure prediction of protein–nucleic acid–small molecule complexes.72% similarUnverifiedAlphaMissense specifically evaluates whether single amino acid variants in protein-coding regions are disease-causing.72% similarUnverifiedA model capable of designing beneficial proteins and a model capable of designing dangerous sequences may overlap substantially in their underlying capabilities.67% similarUnverifiedFor understudied species or protein families, structural information is an important clue for inferring function.65% similar
