"Protein structure prediction is not a new field.
Dean Since 2018, Jianpeng Ma joined Fudan University as a core member of the Shanghai peak talent introduction team.
Dean Protein is the material basis of life.
However, up to now, the structure of about 100,000 proteins has been analyzed experimentally, but this accounts for only a small part of the billions of proteins that have been sequenced
The DeepMind team, which once developed Alphago and defeated top human players, has made significant progress in the past two years
"I think this matter is very enlightening to our country
In addition to technological progress in recent years, Ma Jianpeng especially emphasizes the concentration of resources.
It is also worth mentioning that on July 15, Beijing time, the DeepMind team published an online paper entitled "Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold" in the top academic journal "Nature", which fully elaborated on 2020.
"Some people are saying that AlphaFold is open source, and our country does not need to do it.
He even believes that for the country, this is one of the core card neck technologies
"When the Institute was first established, it was not all focused on computational biology, but now the proportion has been adjusted
