This document discusses AlphaFold 2, a new artificial intelligence system developed by DeepMind for protein structure prediction. It summarizes the challenges of studying protein structures due to complexity, time, money and other resources required. It notes that AlphaFold 2 represents a major breakthrough in protein structure prediction, achieving human-level accuracy in predicting protein structures from amino acid sequences alone. The potential impact of this new technology on fields like genomics and proteomics is phenomenal.
