The Application of Alphafold in Disease Research

Xiao Huang: DOORM, what role can Alphafold play in disease research? Is it like a super detective who can find the “culprit” of diseases?

DOORM: Haha, Xiao Huang, Alphafold can indeed play a significant role in disease research. It is like a super detective who can help scientists find the “culprit” of diseases, that is, the key protein targets. By predicting the structure of proteins, Alphafold can help scientists better understand the mechanisms of diseases and find potential therapeutic targets. This is very important for developing new drugs and treatments. Although Alphafold cannot completely solve all disease problems, it can serve as a powerful tool to help scientists find solutions more quickly.
