DeepMind’s new AlphaFold 3 expands to DNA, RNA modeling

By predicting how proteins interact with RNA and DNA, AlphaFold 3 could dramatically accelerate discovery of new drugs, better antibiotics, more effective vaccines. Google DeepMind has expanded its AlphaFold AI system to not only predict the structure of proteins, but also to model how proteins interact with other cell structures, including DNA, RNA, and small molecules that are often used in drugs. The new system, called AlphaFold 3, can model the ways in which proteins “read” our DNA...
