It's safe to say that today the word "Fold" entered the annals of the Nobel 
Prizes. Two of the Chemistry laureates, Dennis Hassabis and John M. Jumper, 
used their AI model AlphaFold2 to determine the structure of all human 
proteins. As explained by The New York Times, “scientists had struggled for 
more than 50 years to solve what was called ‘the protein folding problem.’ Dr. 
Hassabis and Dr. Jumper were part of a team at Google DeepMind, the company’s 
central AI lab, that developed a technology called AlphaFold. This AI 
technology can rapidly and reliably predict the physical shape of proteins and 
enzymes.”
