The "protein folding problem" was a long-standing hurdle in biology. Scientists from Google DeepMind have been awarded a $3 million prize for developing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that has predicted how nearly every known protein folds into its 3D shape.

Hope this means they can make some headway and maybe cure something sister Charlie!?!

Protein misfolding is linked to a number of diseases so once someone is identified as having that issue, the option to intervene pharmacologically is possible.

Protein misfolding and aggregation is the common cause and pathological mechanism of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), PD, and Huntington’s disease (HD). Autophagy can selectively remove abnormally folded proteins via the lysosomal pathway. Thus, pharmacological manipulation of autophagy may have neuroprotective effects in certain neurodegenerative diseases.
