DesertSci continues to provide up-to-date coverage of new releases from DeepMind's AlphaFold2.

July 2021 will become a key date in the history of protein structure based drug discovery (SBDD) with the release of Google's DeepMind's twin AlphaFold publications, the release of the source code for AlphaFold v2.0 along with the genetic databases and model parameters, and in partnership with the EBI, the release of AlphaFold DB, providing open access to protein structure predictions for the human proteome and many other organisms.

DesertSci is developing new AI models based on DeepLearning for better predicting properties such as ligand affinity and binding site flexibility.
