What Does AlphaFold Do?
<p>Every protein is made up of a sequence of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">amino acids</a> joined together. These amino acids interact to form shapes, these shapes fold up on a larger scale to become complex 3D structures, basically the building blocks for all life on our planet.</p>
<p>There are an unimaginable number of ways for proteins to potentially fold themselves. So figuring out how they quickly fold themselves in a consistent way is very tricky. Currently, there are over 200 million known proteins, with many more found every year. Each one has a unique 3D shape that determines how it works and what it does.</p>
