DeepMind, in collaboration with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), released the open-source AlphaFold Protein Structure Database. By publishing the highly accurate 3D structural predictions for over 350,000 proteins—including the entire human proteome—they instantly democratized structural biology, saving global scientists decades of physical laboratory mapping overhead.
