Role of Alphafold in New Molecule Discovery

Xiao Huang:DOORM, what role does Alphafold play in the discovery of new molecules? Why is it so important?

DOORM:Alphafold is an AI platform developed by DeepMind that can predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins. It plays a crucial role in the discovery of new molecules because it can quickly and accurately predict protein structures, thereby identifying new drug targets and molecules. Previously, finding a new molecule was very difficult, and much drug development tended to reuse existing molecules. With Alphafold, researchers can discover a large number of new molecules, greatly accelerating the drug development process.
