Yesterday, the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to David Baker "for computational protein design" and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper "for protein structure prediction." Collectively, the trio's contributions will allow scientists to tackle 21st century challenges such as antibiotic resistance and plastic degradation. ASBMB science writer Marissa Locke Rottinghaus delves into the science behind the prize:
