#alphafold
People keep pointing to Alphafold, the protein-folding project as an example of AI's potential success in health & science, but Google disbanded it in July.

AlphaFold is great, but do you know how to make the most of it ?
Come to visit me and participate in a AlphaFold training at @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social

I mean... Drug discovery models _are_ also generative AI. AlphaFold and the protein-design tools are literally image generators for molecules, using the same diffusion technique image generation models use.

Just like the other useful applications (ex. AlphaFold), this is also NOT an LLM.

Google juuri kesällä hajotti Alphafold-tutkimustiiminsä, koska halusivat keskittyä proteiinitutkimuksen sijaan kielimalleihin eli slopin tuottamiseen.

I will forever be unimpressed by AlphaFold until we see confirmation in wet lab studies.

Oh wait, our NIH is drastically underfunded.

Computer scientists predictably fail to internalize that we lack a significant understanding of components in a COMPLEX system.

Researchers at TGen used AlphaFold 3 to predict which antigens T cells recognize from their genetic sequences.

Across 9,000+ T-cell receptors and 1,000+ epitopes, their model achieved 81–92% AUC on independent tests.

A major advance in decoding immune responses.

Chapter 16 explains how @OpenAI passed @Google Deep Mind which was preoccupied with AlphaFold & because @Google didn't recognize the threat of @openai

I wasn’t going to get into it with that dipshit, but Alphafold did not deliver as much as hoped, because it turns out dicking around with amino acids with an LLM like they are words only goes so far without a deeper quantum mechanical view of intermolecular/interatomic interactions.

For 50 years, scientists struggled to predict how a protein folds into its 3D shape. Then DeepMind’s AlphaFold did it with near-lab accuracy, from the amino acid sequence alone.

In joint work, Andy Jones and Dan Rigden explored whether AF could help select the correct gene structure model, using original and manually curated pairs from two fungi and an apicoplast.
