A deep learning program called AlphaFold2, developed by the Google-owned AI company DeepMind, is considered a breakthrough towards solving the huge challenge of protein folding.

Proteins are longs chains consisting of amino acids. For a protein to perform its task in a cell, it must "fold". Folding consists of transforming the molecule into a complex 3-D structure that will then interact with its target in the cell. Predicting how a protein will fold using AI can be crucial for revolutionizing drug design.
