4.45pm Another great celebration
Thanks for joining us today. The Nobel prizes have been another wonderful celebration of science and chemistry. Today’s winners well deserve their prize – their work left us amazed when it first came out and it’s been great to revisit it again. Just a reminder that all our Nobel prize stories, including our report on the chemistry prize and the explainer, can be found in one handy place. We’d love you to join us on Friday for a webinar (1500 BST) where we’ll discuss today’s prize with special guests. Next week we’ll also be bringing you a feature-length report on the winners, their work and their hopes and dreams for how it can change the world. We hope you’ll join us for it.
4.17pm Explaining the chemistry prize
We’ve put together an explainer on today’s Nobel prize in chemistry. We’ve tried to answer all the questions that you might have about protein design and structure prediction. Why was protein structure prediction singled out for this honour? Why did the prize also reward the creation of designer proteins? What did the laureates do to earn the top prize in chemistry? Are there any actual uses for this research in the real world? Will protein structure predicting AIs signal the end of experimental techniques to determine structure? We answer all these questions and more.
3.42pm The rise of protein design and structure prediction
We’ve spent a little time mining Web of Science for scientific publications linked to today’s winners of the chemistry prize. Interesting to see the rapid rise of AlphaFold (the tail-off is because we’re only three-quarters of the way through 2024) in comparison with searches related to protein structure prediction and design. With the awarding of the chemistry Nobel prize it seems likely that this already hot area will be turbocharged in the coming years.
