AlphaFold 3 models all of life's molecules

AlphaFold 3 predicts the structure and interactions of proteins, DNA, RNA and ligands.

What happened and why it matters

Extending from single proteins to complexes with nucleic acids and small molecules made AlphaFold directly relevant to drug design, with at least 50% improvement on protein–ligand interactions over existing methods.
