NVIDIA Releases AI-Predicted Virus Protein Structures for Over 2,800 Viruses
NVIDIA has collaborated with Google DeepMind and other research partners to release a predicted dataset of 3D structures for protein complexes from over 2,800 viruses.
The predictions are freely available through the AlphaFold Database's Pandemic Preparedness Portal, developed by Google DeepMind and EMBL-EBI.
The dataset was inferred by AlphaFold2, a machine learning model that predicts the structure of 3D proteins from their amino acid sequences, using NVIDIA's BioNeMo workflow for GPU acceleration during inference.
About 30% of the protein interactions added have not been documented in the Protein Data Bank.
