STOCKHOLM, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to David Baker for computational protein design, and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for protein structure prediction, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Wednesday.
Baker is based at the University of Washington in Seattle加拿大pc28预测在线, while the other two laureates conduct their research at Google DeepMind in London.
"One of the discoveries being recognized this year concerns the construction of spectacular proteins. The other is about fulfilling a 50-year-old dream: predicting protein structures from amino acid sequences," said Heiner Linke, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.
Baker's work in 2003 led to the design of a new protein by using amino acids, the building blocks of life. His team's innovative protein creations have since been applied in pharmaceuticals, vaccines, nanomaterials and sensors.
七年之前的春节档，由林超贤指导，张译、黄景瑜、杜江、海清、蒋璐霞主演的现代战争题材大作《红海行动》为观众带来了一场不同凡响的视听盛宴，并凭借过硬的质量后来居上，一举夺得年度票房冠军。
"He developed computational tools that now enable scientists to design spectacular new proteins with entirely novel shapes and functions, opening endless possibilities for the greatest benefit to humankind," Linke said.
The second recognized discovery加拿大pc28预测在线, an AI model called AlphaFold2, was presented by Hassabis and Jumper in 2020. AlphaFold2 enables the prediction of the structure of nearly 200 million identified proteins, advancing research in areas such as antibiotic resistance. ■
