Molecular Interaction Foundation Models

Observed now: DeepMind reports broad AlphaFold use and increased experimental structural-biology activity among users; Microsoft documents AI programs spanning biomolecules, small molecules, molecular simulation, and scientific emulators. The research surface is widening from isolated structures toward molecular interactions. General accuracy across complexes and interventions is not established by these sources.

Why this idea is here

What the evidence establishes.

Google DeepMind reviews broad AlphaFold use and evidence of increased experimental structural-biology activity among users; Microsoft Research documents AI programs for molecular simulation, biomolecules, materials, small molecules, and scientific emulators. These are source-backed premises for this observed signal; they do not by themselves prove broad adoption or the eventual outcome.
