The Synergy Between AlphaFold, Bioelectricity, Dual Transmission & Radios
The Intersection of Biology & Technology in Information Processing
Introduction
Like many roads that lead to the same destination when examined together, AlphaFold, bioelectricity, dual transmission & radios offer a unified perspective on how information transmission, signal processing & electromagnetic phenomena drive both biological & technological systems. Understanding their synergy reveals deeper insights into communication networks, both natural & engineered & points to future innovations in science & technology.
AlphaFold: Predicting Life’s Structural Information
Protein Folding as a Form of Information
AlphaFold, an AI model developed by DeepMind, has revolutionized the way scientists predict protein structures.
Proteins are essential molecules in biological systems & their function is determined by their three-dimensional structure, which is in turn dictated by their amino acid sequence. AlphaFold processes this sequence to predict the protein’s structure with high accuracy, which is critical for drug design, disease understanding & more.
