DeepMind and beyond – Lab Report 16

This month we reflect on the exciting AlphaFold2 breakthrough by DeepMind. We’ve also got new coronavirus puzzles just in time for the new year. Check out Deepmind’s video on AlphaFold2: - - - - - You don’t have to be a scientist to do science. Download and play Foldit and you can help researchers discover new antiviral drugs that might stop coronavirus. The most promising solutions are being manufactured and tested at the University of Washington Institute for Protein Design in Seattle. Foldit is FREE and not-for-profit: This video features Foldit scientist Brian Koepnick, PhD. It was produced by Ian Haydon. - - - - - Note: Foldit is an interactive computer game and not a distributed computing project.
