Very good laudation presentation for one of the highest impact achievements in the history of Nobel Prizes in Chemistry. Note that AI was just a tool here, the Prize was awarded to people's ingenuity and work.

What do you think about most proteins being a 3 dimensional structure??

[biswanathmukherjee]

It is my great delight that I came to know the phenomenon of protein and its computational design in my lifetime. I wish to thank all the scientists for their great endeavours in human history.

I believe in a few more years, taxonomy and classification will meet their standards and will win nobel prize

[backstrapped]

What does this work mean for abiogenesis?

[JazevoAudiosurf]

prediction: superintelligence will win the nobel prize in every category

[HughChing]

In life science, should we first solve the problem complete automation so that we can create entities with permanent, such as life, rather than temporary, value?

[mpmoturi]

Wow! Another nobel prize today related to Deep Learning and Neural Networks based scientific discovery.
