This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded half to David Baker "for computational protein design," and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper "for protein structure prediction." Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully used artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. David Baker has learned how to master the building blocks of life and create entirely new proteins.

- One of the discoveries to be recognized this year concerns the construction of spectacular proteins. The other concerns the fulfillment of a 50-year-old dream: predicting protein structures based on their amino acid sequences. Both of these discoveries open up enormous possibilities, says Heiner Linke, chairman of the Nobel Co...
