The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper for their pioneering work on protein structure prediction and computational design. Baker received half of the prize for his innovations in designing new proteins, while Hassabis and Jumper shared the other half for their use of artificial intelligence to predict the structures of nearly all known proteins. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted the significance of these achievements, which address longstanding challenges in biochemistry. Baker's research has led to the creation of proteins with potential applications in pharmaceuticals and nanotechnology. This year's award underscores the transformative impact of AI in scientific research. The total prize amount is 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.6 million).
