The interview explores the complex world of protein folding—how chains of amino acids spontaneously form intricate 3D shapes in our cells, enabling proteins to act as dynamic molecular machines. The conversation emphasizes how modern AI, particularly AlphaFold, has revolutionized our ability to predict these structures, aiding in drug design and deepening our understanding of cellular function and disease.
