Paragraph 2

open science infrastructure

Open release of viral protein complex structures

Original excerpt

To help improve the odds, NVIDIA has joined a coalition of global research organizations, including Google DeepMind and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), to release predicted 3D structures for the protein complexes of more than 2,800 viruses — openly available to any scientist, anywhere, through the AlphaFold Database.

Paragraph 19

prediction uncertainty

Protein-complex predictions are labeled by confidence

Original excerpt

Predictions in the open dataset are labeled by confidence. The structures show what viral complexes may look like and how individual proteins might interact within a viral proteome.

Paragraph 5

developer tooling

Researchers can use the BioNeMo pipeline for their own targets

Original excerpt

NVIDIA is also openly releasing the BioNeMo Structure Prediction Pipeline , the GPU-accelerated workflow used to generate the dataset, so researchers can go from protein sequence to predicted 3D structure for their own targets.
