This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.
Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance.

Imagine a world where creams could soothe the mind and offering a gentle touch could combat depression.
@IshmailSaboor is doing just that through his research on sensory perception through touch. 🎧 Listen now: pew.org/4bAWHau
