The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 was divided, one half awarded to David Baker “for computational protein design”, the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction”.
Artificial intelligence helps to predict the structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences and to design new proteins that can be used as pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials and tiny sensors.
