Nature featured work from our Pauli lab, where AlphaFold-Multimer helped reveal how Tmem81 and two sperm proteins create the pocket for the egg protein Bouncer to bind.
Andrea Pauli: “AlphaFold speeds up discovery, we use it for every project.”

AlphaFold is five years old — these charts show how it revolutionized science
Since it was unveiled in 2020, Google DeepMind's game-changing AI tool has helped researchers all over the world to predict the 3D structures of hundreds of millions of proteins.
