OpenFold is an innovative open-source software tool that leverages artificial intelligence and supercomputing to predict protein structures. This tool builds on the success of AlphaFold2, matching its accuracy while providing a fully open-source alternative. The development aims to enhance research in medicine and deepen understanding of proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
The project, initiated by researchers from Harvard and Columbia, has led to the formation of the OpenFold Consortium, which collaborates with various startups. OpenFold allows scientists to train the model with their own data, a significant advancement over AlphaFold2. The integration of AI with supercomputing is revolutionizing biology and drug discovery, promising to unlock new treatments for diseases.
