彩娱乐 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to 3 scientists for work on proteins

Baker's work led to the design of a new protein by using amino acids彩娱乐, the building blocks of life, while an AI model presented by Hassabis and Jumper enables the prediction of the structure of nearly 200 million identified proteins.

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.

①法学专业：这个文科专业可以说是被人又爱又恨的，法学想要顺利毕业难度很大，光是需要通过国家统一法律职业资格考试都有很高的门槛，在公务员考试中，彩娱乐法学岗位每年都特别多，对口率也很高，所以上岸率更高。

Baker is based at the University of Washington in Seattle, 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.

"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, an AI model called AlphaFold2彩娱乐, 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. ■
