So this happened: DeepMind (with 48 authors, including a new member of the British nobility) decided to compete with me. Or rather, with some of my work from 10+ years ago.Apparently, AlphaFold 3 can now predict how a given drug-like molecule will bind to its target protein. And it does so better than AutoDock Vina (the most cited molecular docking program, which I built at Scripps Research):On top of this, it doesn’t even need a 3D structure of the target. It predicts it too! But I’m a bit skep...
