The scientists from the artificial intelligence company won the chemistry prize
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists on Wednesday for their work around proteins, which the Nobel Prize committee describes as “chemical tools of life”. The scientific applications for the AlphaFold2 include helping researchers to understand antibiotic resistance and developing plastic degrading enzymes, the committee said. The construction of protein is one of the discoveries being recognised.
Scientists have won a chemistry prize for their work
DeepMind founders Demis Hassabis, David Baker and John Jumper have been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work with proteins, the building Blocks of Life. The three created AlphaFold2 model that made it possible to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins identified. The AlphaFold database was mined by two teams last year.
