Nobel Prize in chemistry honors 3 scientists who used AI to design proteins — life’s building blocks

  • David Baker created a computer program called Rosetta that helped analyze information about existing proteins in comprehensive databases to build new proteins that don’t exist in nature
  • Demis Hassabis and John Jumper created an artificial intelligence model that has predicted the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have ever identified
