Is folding at home still relevant after alpha fold?
AlphaFold. It's very near to cracking the 90% accuracy. And solving protein folding has huge long term benefits for himaniry
Wasn't protein folding solved by our AI overlords once? Demis Hassabis? Alpha Fold?
Does this solve protein folding?
Does the protein folding stuff from DeepMind count?
I wonder which proteins alphafold is having trouble with
Have you ever heard of AlphaFold?[0]: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/alphafold-a-solution-to-a-...
Isn’t this a largely solved problem after Alphafold?
The "science" of protein folding has a primary goal: to predict the structure of a protein given it's constituent parts.This is what alphaFold does, and it's been verified to produce results at an apparent accuracy at or above something like X-ray protein crystallography. The advances will come, after these results are validated and accepted by the scientific community as whole, simply when groups start using this technique to immediately access the structure of proteins t
This looks similar to the protein folding problem. Maybe an AlphaFold-like approach could work?
