Mentioned in 3 AI use cases across 2 industries
Think of AlphaFold 2 as a revolutionary microscope that predicts how single proteins fold in 3D. The “next frontier” the article discusses is like upgrading from looking at a single Lego brick to understanding whole Lego machines: how multiple proteins, RNAs, DNA, and small molecules interact, move, and change shape in real time inside a cell.
This is like giving a superpowered microscope and a pattern-spotting robot to a drug lab. The system runs huge numbers of biological experiments, turns the images and data into a “map” of how cells react, and then uses AI to quickly suggest which molecules could become medicines, instead of scientists guessing and testing one-by-one over many years.
