Color the Proteins

Let's combine a recent video post, The Noblest Prize (January 2025):-

Nobel lecture with the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2024 Demis Hassabis, Google DeepMind, London, UK. [...] "for protein structure prediction"

with a derivative of that post, Proteins Play Chess (January 2025):-

I started to wonder if proteins play chess. It turns out they do, at least according to AI comics.

I constructed a series of test images using the phrase 'Demis Hassabis plays chess with a protein'. While the likenesses of Dr. Hassabis were very good, at least by my standards, the proteins were missing. Maybe, I thought, the proteins will be visible if I color them. Sure enough, it worked.

It turns out the proteins were there all along in my test images, but I didn't recognize them, because they were represented by chess pieces. In the 'Proteins Play Chess' post I noted that proteins were often depicted with 'pointy protusions' on their heads. Here we see the same in the lower left frame. QED?
