NVIDIA 联合 DeepMind 等开放 2800 多种病毒蛋白结构预测
原标题:How Open Science Can Help Researchers Prepare for the Next Pandemic
AI 摘要
NVIDIA 联合 Google DeepMind、EMBL-EBI 等全球研究机构,利用 AlphaFold2 和 NVIDIA BioNeMo 推理运行时,预测并公开了 2800 多种病毒的蛋白质复合物 3D 结构,数据通过 AlphaFold 数据库开放给全球科学家。NVIDIA 同时开源了用于生成该数据集的 BioNeMo 结构预测流程。该数据集约 30% 的蛋白质相互作用为科学界全新发现,旨在为下一次大流行提前储备结构知识。

When COVID-19 emerged, scientists had a crucial advantage: Decades of prior research on coronaviruses meant they understood the virus’ key proteins well enough to design vaccines in record time. The next pandemic may not offer the same head start. To help improve the odds, NVIDIA has joined a coalition of global research organizations, including Google DeepMind and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), to release predicted 3D structures for the
