This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures. Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance. Animation: ©Terezia Kovalova/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences #NobelPrize

2024 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry David Baker succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins. In recent years, one incredible protein creation after the other has emerged from Baker’s laboratory. They range from new nanomaterials where up to 120 proteins spontaneously link together (see animation) to proteins that function as a type of molecular rotor. Who will be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year? We will find out on 7 October. Animation: ©Terezia Kovalova/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
