Deep Learning Just Solved a 50-Year Protein-Folding Puzzle With a Single Gene Sequence

Instead of having to see a protein in multiple camera angles to understand its 3D shape, new AI can look at the genetic instructions alone and predict the exact atomic positions—like reading a recipe and visualizing the finished cake perfectly.

This means drug discovery can skip months of lab work, moving faster toward treatments for diseases that exploit these "hotspot" proteins.
