Scientists are leveraging Google DeepMind's AlphaFold AI to engineer more heat-resilient crops. By predicting the 3D structure of a key photosynthetic enzyme, researchers identified unstable loops that falter under high temperatures. They then used insights from a heat-loving algae to create hybrid enzymes with improved stability, which could eventually lead to crops better adapted to a warming climate and more secure food production.
