The AI model OpenFold3 takes a crucial step in making protein predictions

OpenFold3: A Breakthrough in Protein Prediction

The open-source AI model OpenFold3 improves transparency in predicting protein interactions with other molecules, potentially speeding up drug discovery.

A large consortium of researchers, led by Mohammed AlQuraishi at Columbia University, recreated Google DeepMind's AlphaFold3, making it accessible for commercial use.

Unlike AlphaFold3, which has usage restrictions, OpenFold3 can be used by companies and individuals for commercial purposes, including drug development.

OpenFold3 is a reconstruction of AlphaFold3, predicting the structure of proteins paired with other molecules.

Author's summary: OpenFold3 boosts transparency in protein prediction.
