Gene revolution through A.I.: What Alphafold 2 will contribute to science

For Andrei Lupas, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, it is a milestone: A.I. developers from London solved a decades-old problem in biology. The AlphaFold 2 system can predict protein folds with high accuracy.

Understanding protein folding will revolutionize biology!

[@Gevicks24]

The applications of this feat in medicine are seemingly limitless. Is Alpha2 limited to solving tertiary confirmation folding patterns or also quaternary?

[@Mr__Singularity]

Can we now design a protein(nanomachine) that will take apart CO2 and make from it graphene and oxygen?

Pros: Defeating prion disease. Cons: Nasty runaway nano plumes.

I am wondering if Alpha fold has already replaced all the biochemist , including this director this max plank instiute.

Every living organism should be RECLASSIFIED according to their DNA and 3-D (folding) protein structures. And using AI a NEW classification of living life should be done. Let the AI independently come up with the new classification of life according to DNA and 3-D (folding) protein structures.

Two quick things...
This can be and most likely will be or already has been weaponized.
And was the mask really necessary? Lol.

the mask is useless doctor?
