Title: Machine learning for protein structure prediction, Part 1: Algorithm space
Abstract: AlphaFold2, a neural network-based model which predicts protein structures from amino acid sequences, is revolutionizing the field of structural biology. This lecture series, given by a leader of the OpenFold project which created an open-source version of AlphaFold2, will explain the protein structure problem and the detailed workings of these models, along with many new results and directions for future research.
Lecture 1: Machine learning for protein structure prediction, Part 1: Algorithm space
A brief intro to protein biology. AlphaFold2 impacts on experimental structural biology. Co-evolutionary approaches. Space of ‘algorithms’ for protein structure prediction. Proteins as images (CNNs for protein structure prediction). End-to-end differentiable approaches. Attention and long-range dependencies. AlphaFold2 in a nutshell.
