S2E8 - Google’s DeepMind AI Changing Biology and Solving Protein Structures

On this episode we’re talking about the protein folding problem, the challenge of determining the 3D shapes that proteins form, and how Google’s DeepMind system stands to transform biology. We won’t lie to you listeners. We don’t really understand what most of that means, which is why we’re joined by Dr. Nicole Buan and Dr. Juan Cui, researchers at the University of Nebraska, who can hopefully help us to understand what this all means.
