AlphaFold

Google DeepMind researchers used the Antigravity agentic platform and the ProtNLM function-prediction model to flag a previously uncharacterized, 97-amino-acid bacteriocin candidate in UniProt. The lead is predicted to be active against respiratory tract pathogens but has not been experimentally confirmed. Google also introduced a Biomolecular Structure Viewer inside Antigravity.

Latent Space has published a 31:55 episode with Pushmeet Kohli of Google DeepMind and Sal Candido of Biohub, titled "Why AlphaFold Didn't Solve Protein Folding." The source page lists only the title, guests and runtime, so the specific arguments made in the conversation are not yet verified here.

Google DeepMind has released AlphaGenome Atlas, a free research platform containing precomputed predictions for the effects of all 9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants in the human genome. The 1-petabyte dataset includes a new AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score that combines AlphaGenome and AlphaMissense predictions to help researchers rank genetic variants by likely impact.
