Google DeepMind AlphaFold 3 Predicts Protein-Drug Interactions

Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaFold 3, an expanded version of their landmark protein structure prediction system. The new model can predict interactions between proteins, DNA, RNA, and small molecules — a critical capability for drug discovery.

Pharmaceutical companies are already using the system to accelerate early-stage drug discovery pipelines. The model is available through a free web server for academic researchers.
