It'd be nice if they could do the same for protein synthesis, but that's obviously a much harder problem.

This includes the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins, and is reliant on the simulations run on the volunteers' personal computers.

This is impressive, and a surprising result in the same vein as if a molecular biology lab with no previous involvement in deep learning were to solidly trounce experienced practitioners at modern machine learning benchmarks.
