'Big­ger, faster, bet­ter': Iso­mor­phic, Deep­Mind un­veil Al­phaFold 3, go­ing be­yond pro­tein pre­dic­tions

Google Deep­Mind and Iso­mor­phic Labs un­veiled the newest ver­sion of Al­phaFold, tak­ing its flag­ship AI mod­el far be­yond pre­dict­ing the struc­ture of a sin­gle pro­tein.

A new Na­ture re­search pa­per, pub­lished Wednes­day, shows Al­phaFold 3 pro­duc­ing more ac­cu­rate pre­dic­tions than both tra­di­tion­al and AI meth­ods for struc­tures show­ing how pro­teins in­ter­act with lig­ands, nu­cle­ic acids and oth­er pro­teins.
