Our long term goal is to design enzymes for chemical manufacturing. We decided to build AlphaFold3 because we had seen how useful AlphaFold2 had been for the protein design field. No one else was building it fast enough for us, so we decided we should do it ourselves. We are committed to training and open-sourcing the full version with ligand and nucleic acid prediction capabilities as well since it is so useful for the biotech industry.
