The protein-structure-prediction tool AlphaFold has been used to identify potential new psychedelic molecules, showing promise in drug discovery and development.
AlphaFold’s ability to predict protein structures quickly and accurately has the potential to revolutionize drug design and discovery, significantly shortening the time needed for drug development.
The development of AlphaFold and its potential impact on drug discovery is met with both optimism and skepticism from the scientific community, with ongoing discussions about the tool’s limitations and strengths in predicting protein structures for drug development.
