From DeepMind's documentary, the most replayed scene shows a meeting where someone tells CEO Demis Hassabis that AlphaFold can predict all known protein sequences, around 1 to 2 billion, in about a month.
He looks up from his phone and says, “Why don’t we just do that? That’s a great idea. We should run every protein in existence and release it.”
That decision would later lead to a Nobel Prize.
AlphaFold was the result of years of work at Google DeepMind, solving a biology problem scientists had struggled with for nearly 50 years. Predicting how proteins fold from their amino acid sequence was slow, expensive, and usually required lab experiments. AlphaFold showed this could be done with AI, accurately, at scale, and in days instead of years.
DeepMind then released AlphaFold for free, allowing researchers worldwide to study proteins at a scale never possible before, speeding up progress in medicine, biology, and drug discovery.
