Scientists can use the expanded database to understand diseases. Drug discovery and biology could be speeded up by it.

The most significant contribution from the artificial intelligence community to the scientific community is AlphaFold, according to a computer science professor.

AlphaFold has been used to understand the health of honeybees and to develop a vaccine for Malaria.

Hassabis said that the database makes it easy for researchers to look up 3D structures of proteins.

Predicting the structures of proteins is very time consuming and having a tool with 200 million readily available structures will save researchers a lot of time.

Scientists can use AlphaFold to better understand how diseases occur.
