This year, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was shared between David Baker of the University of Washington for his work in computational protein design and Demis Hassabis and John Jumper from Google Deepmind, a British artificial intelligence software development company, for their work in predicting protein structure.
“One of the discoveries being recognised this year concerns the construction of spectacular proteins. The other is about fulfilling a 50-year-old dream: predicting protein structures from their amino acid sequences. Both of these discoveries open up vast possibilities,” said Heiner Linke, Chairman of the Nobel Committee on Chemistry.
