Overview
- Researchers in Malaysia are using AlphaFold to model Burkholderia pseudomallei proteins to speed drug development against melioidosis.
- Singapore teams at A*STAR and the National Neuroscience Institute generated the first full 3D view of a Parkinson’s‑linked protein, revealing immune-driven disruption of its function.
- KAIST scientists mapped previously unseen regions of a key protein and identified a hidden interaction site relevant to disease mechanisms.
- Academia Sinica in Taiwan predicted an unprecedented 71‑torus knot protein fold with AlphaFold and later confirmed it in laboratory experiments.
- Japanese researchers analyzed hot-spring viruses and, using AlphaFold predictions, classified them into a previously unknown but widespread viral family.
