Baidu's HelixFold3 Matches AlphaFold3 and PoseBusters Performance

Sep 2, 2024, 09:10 AM

The PaddleHelix research team at Baidu has released HelixFold3, an open-source replication of AlphaFold3, designed for biomolecular structure prediction. This tool, which is available under a noncommercial license, aims to replicate the advanced capabilities of AlphaFold3. The release of HelixFold3 marks a significant milestone, as it matches the performance of AlphaFold3, achieving this feat just four months after AlphaFold3's initial release. HelixFold3's performance is roughly equal to PoseBusters. This development is expected to have substantial implications for the field of biomolecular research, providing researchers with a powerful tool for predicting biomolecular structures.
