Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announce a new AI tool helping biologists see inside cells like never before. This tool is called AlphaFold 3. It predicts how proteins connect with other vital cell parts. This includes DNA and RNA. Scientists need this understanding. Cells work through complex interactions between molecules. Seeing these interactions clearly was very hard before. AlphaFold 3 offers a much clearer picture. It models the precise shapes formed when molecules bind together. Knowing these shapes is critical. It reveals how cells function normally. It also shows what goes wrong in disease.

Researchers worldwide are already using AlphaFold 3. They study everything from basic plant biology to human illness targets. The tool accelerates discovery. It provides highly accurate structural predictions. These predictions used to take years of lab work. Now they can be generated in minutes. This saves enormous time and resources. Scientists can focus on experiments instead of structure solving. It opens new paths for developing treatments. Understanding disease mechanisms becomes faster.

Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs developed AlphaFold 3. They built it on the success of AlphaFold 2. The earlier version revolutionized protein structure prediction. AlphaFold 3 goes much further. It predicts structures for a wide range of biomolecules. This includes proteins, DNA, RNA, and smaller molecules. The model is freely available for non-commercial research. A new AlphaFold Server offers easy access. Scientists upload molecule sequences. They receive predicted 3D structures quickly. This breakthrough promises to transform biology and medicine.
