📝 Editorial: DeepMind’s AlphaFold DB
It’s hard to think that it has been an entire year since DeepMind open-sourced AlphaFold, the model that astonished the machine learning (ML) world by predicting the structure of proteins based on a sequence of amino acids. AlphaFold can easily be considered the most relevant ML contribution to the world of science in the last decade. The initial release of AlphaFold was accompanied by a less promoted project known as AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AlphaFold DB). This project aimed to provide an open dataset with the structure of proteins. Last week, DeepMind doubled down in AlphaFold DB with a new and incredibly impressive release.
In collaboration with EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), DeepMind upgraded…
