Demis Hassabis, John Jumper, and Prof David Baker won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their pioneering work in protein structure prediction and design.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners in Stockholm, highlighting the shared prize of 11 million Swedish kronor for their contributions.Three scientists, including two from Google DeepMind, have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for revolutionary advancements in predicting and designing protein structures.

The other half of the award was presented to Professor David Baker of the University of Washington. Baker’s work in computational protein design has led to the creation of entirely new kinds of proteins, which have significant applications in vaccines, nanomaterials, and tiny sensors. “We glimpsed at the beginning that it might be possible to create a whole new world of proteins that address a lot of the problems faced by humans in the 21st century,” Bakercommittee for chemistry, emphasized the significance of their discoveries. “One of the discoveries being recognised this year concerns the construction of spectacular proteins. The other is about fulfilling a 50-year-old dream: predicting protein structures from their amino acid sequences.
