The latest upgrade to AlphaFold, DeepMind's AI tool for protein structure prediction, enhances its ability to model protein interactions with other molecules, a significant advancement for drug discovery. Despite its potential, access to the tool remains restricted by DeepMind. Since its release in 2021, AlphaFold has revolutionized biological research by mapping complex cellular structures and predicting nearly all known protein shapes. The new version promises even greater contributions to understanding and manipulating biological systems for medical applications.
