AlphaFold program\u2019s prediction of nearly 20,000 human protein structures now free for researchers<\/p>\n

Last year the artificial intelligence group DeepMind cracked a mystery that has flummoxed scientists for decades: stripping bare the structure of proteins, the building blocks of life. Now, having amassed a database<\/a> of nearly all human protein structures, the company is making the resource available online free for researchers to use.<\/p>\n

The key to understanding our basic biological machinery is its architecture. The chains of amino acids that comprise proteins twist and turn to make the most confounding of 3D shapes. It is this elaborate form that explains protein function; from enzymes that are crucial to metabolism to antibodies that fight infectious attacks.<\/p>\n
