So being able to predict their 3D structures offers windows into the processes inside living things, including humans.

Key Points:

So being able to predict their 3D structures offers windows into the processes inside living things, including humans.
The first version of DeepMind’s AI tool was unveiled in 2018.
In other words, how could anyone know whether what was predicted matched the real-life protein without experimental verification?
However, AlphaFold2 was not designed to address something called the quaternary structure of proteins, where multiple protein subunits form a larger protein.
And some researchers reported that it sometimes appeared to have difficulty predicting structural elements of proteins known as coils.
If we can, its speed and accuracy could have a major effect on areas such as drug development.
For the first time, with AlphaFold3, we may have cleared the most significant hurdle in the protein prediction revolution.

BOSTON, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The evolution of the redox flow battery over several decades has seen various chemistries being developed, commercialized, or even abandoned due to factors such as poor electrochemical reversibility and cross-contamination of active species. The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has prevailed as the most widely deployed and commercialized RFB chemistry over the last decade; despite this, the volume of their installations for stationary energy storage applications is still minimal compared to the incumbent Li-ion battery, with economic barriers inhibiting their market growth. However, as suggested in IDTechEx's market report, 'Redox Flow Batteries Market 2024-2034: Forecasts, Technologies, Markets', a combination of factors including developments in vanadium markets, development of cheaper RFB chemistries, and future demand for long duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, could see increasing penetration of the redox flow battery in the stationary energy storage market over the coming years. These developments will aid in RFB market growth and IDTechEx forecasts that by 2034, this market will be valued at US$2.8B.
