How Open Science Can Help Researchers Prepare for the Next Pandemic
NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and EMBL-EBI released open AlphaFold2-predicted 3D structures for protein complexes of over 2,800 viruses.
NVIDIA joined Google DeepMind, EMBL-EBI, and other research organizations to openly release predicted 3D structures for protein complexes of more than 2,800 viruses via the AlphaFold Database. Structures were inferred with AlphaFold2 scaled using NVIDIA BioNeMo Inference Runtime, and roughly 30% of the protein interactions are new to science. NVIDIA also open-sourced the BioNeMo Structure Prediction Pipeline, a GPU-accelerated sequence-to-structure workflow; the AlphaFold Database now holds over 260 million predictions.

When COVID-19 emerged, scientists had a crucial advantage: Decades of prior research on coronaviruses meant they understood the virus’ key proteins well enough to design vaccines in record time. The next pandemic may not offer the same head start. To help improve the odds, NVIDIA has joined a coalition of global research organizations, including Google […]
