Today, DeepMind announced that it has seemingly solved one of biology’s outstanding problems: how the string of amino acids in a protein folds up into a three-dimensional shape that enables their complex functions. It’s a computational challenge that has resisted the efforts of many very smart biologists for decades, despite the application of supercomputer-level hardware…
