AlphaFold is DeepMinds latest breakthrough addressing the protein folding problem. Using an advanced Deep Learning architecture that achieves end-to-end learning of protein structures, this work is arguably one of the most influential papers of this decade and is likely to spark enormous advanced in computational biology and protein design. This video covers the entire architecture of the model as well as training principles that led to the incredible results of AlphaFold2!
