Quotes
To understand how life works, we first need to understand the shape of proteins,
This is a monumental achievement for AI, for computational biology, and science itself,
I was sleeping when the phone rang, and I answered the phone and I heard the announcement,
Baker said via phone link after the prize was announced in Stockholm Our new AI methods are much more powerful than our previous traditional scientific model methods,
Chemists have long aspired to fully understand and control the chemical tools of life – proteins. This dream is now closer to reality,
the Academy's official statement read The number of designs that they have produced and published, and … the variety is absolutely mind-blowing. It seems that you can almost construct any type of protein with this technology,
said Professor Johan Åqvist of the Nobel committee Four years ago in 2020, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper managed to crack the code. With skillful use of artificial intelligence, they made it possible to predict the complex structure of essentially any known protein in nature,
Another dream of scientists has been to build new proteins to learn how to use nature's multi-tool for our own purposes. This is the problem that David Baker solved,
That was actually called a grand challenge in chemistry, and in particular in biochemistry, for decades. So, it's that breakthrough that gets awarded today,
Proteins are the molecules that enable life. Proteins are building blocks that form bones, skin, hair and tissue,
The breakthroughs made by Demis and John on protein structure prediction really highlighted to us the power that AI could have. And that led us to apply these AI methods to protein design and that has greatly, increased the power and accuracy,
David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins,
the Nobel committee said in a statement One of the discoveries being recognised this year concerns the construction of spectacular proteins. The other is about fulfilling a 50-year-old dream: Predicting protein structures from their amino acid sequences,
the academy said in a statement He developed computational tools that now enable scientists to design spectacular new proteins with entirely novel shapes and functions, opening endless possibilities for the greatest benefit to humankind,
