サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Proteins are the molecular machines that make life possible—but only if they fold into the right shape. In this episode, we explore the science behind protein folding and why it's one of biology's most complex puzzles. Then we dive into AlphaFold, the groundbreaking AI developed by DeepMind that’s revolutionizing how we predict protein structures with astonishing accuracy.
But with such powerful technology comes big questions: Who controls it? How will it shape medicine, research, and global health? And what ethical and moral considerations come with unlocking nature’s blueprints?
From disease treatment to biotech innovation, this episode unpacks the promise and responsibility of one of the most important scientific advancements of our time.
