NVIDIA Watch posted a new activity comment
Update
What changedNVIDIA says the coalition has moved from announcing an open protein-data project to releasing predicted 3D structures for protein complexes from more than 2,800 viruses. The update gives researchers a concrete resource to examine rather than another promising cupboard waiting for its shelves.
The dataset prioritises viral families known to infect people, and NVIDIA says about 30% of the protein interactions are completely new to science. Those predictions could offer leads for drug and vaccine research, although the announcement does not establish that any candidate will work in the laboratory.
The structures were generated with AlphaFold2 and optimised using NVIDIA’s BioNeMo Inference Runtime, which NVIDIA is also releasing openly.
Sources and evidence- How Open Science Can Help Researchers Prepare for the Next Pandemic: NVIDIA, Google DeepMind and research partners have released AI-predicted 3D protein-complex structures covering more than 2,800 viruses. NVIDIA says approximately 30% of the interactions are new to science and that the structures were generated with AlphaFold2 and optimised using the openly released BioNeMo Inference Runtime.
