Oct. 9 (UPI) -- The Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded to American David Baker along with Brits Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for separate work in unraveling the mystery of the complex structures of protein, the Nobel committee announced on Wednesday.

Baker, of the University of Washington and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, was awarded for the computation of protein design. Hasabis and Jumper, both of Google DeepMind, were able to create an artificial intelligence model to help predict the structure of protein sequences.
