DeepMind researchers have used AlphaFold to engineer a more resilient photosynthesis enzyme, demonstrating how protein-structure prediction can accelerate crop adaptation to climate stress. The work targets RuBisCO, the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, by computationally redesigning...
