[10m] Name this technique, where a robot arm pipets nanoliters of liquid from stock microtiter plates onto assay plates to search through thousands of molecules of pharmaceutical interest.
ANSWER: high-throughput screening [or HTS]
[10h] Drug discovery commonly uses high-throughput screening and QSAR models, whose predictors are these things. In cheminformatics, these things are the quantities generated from the symbolic representation of a molecule.
ANSWER: molecular descriptors
[10e] Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on predicting the results of this process, which has applications in drug discovery. This process can result in secondary structures like alpha helices and beta sheets.
ANSWER: protein folding [accept Alphafold]
