Google DeepMind releases AlphaProteo

Google’s AlphaFold project revolutionized the field of protein folding a few years back.

But that wasn’t enough, because to make a drug, you need another protein that will bind to the target as needed. And voila, 3 days ago Google released AlphaProteo!! It’s hard to imagine this won’t result in another giant leap in medical research and treatment for many diseases, and yes in the longevity field too. For example, how about an inhibitor for IL-11? Here’s the announcement.
