It’s officially recognized as a solution.
- cambalache 6y agoWell, it's not. Nature does not have a committee sorry. Proteins are delicate "machines" where even a a small change in the sequence (and thus the 3D structure) as small as a few amino-acids would change effectively the structure and the function of it. On top of that, proteins are dynamic beasts. In any case, it's a great advance, but DM, as many companies likes a little bit too much to tout its own horn.

- ClumsyPilot 6y agoI am not sure we are talking about the same thing -i.e. there is a solution for hunger, but it's not a solved problem.
- mrDmrTmrJ 6y agoThis benchmark maybe solved, but simultaneously, there remain other open problems relating to protein folding which are unsolved and which may not even have benchmarks yet :) Said differently, there's vast space between having a great result on a specific benchmark (this) and solving all interesting problems in a scientific field.
- dekhn 6y agoNo, it's not. The folks who run CASP gave some nice PR, but it doesn't mean that protein folding is solved.
- SamBam 6y agoI think that missed the mark, regardless of the rest of the discussion. It's like saying that the winner of the DARPA Grand Challenge for self-driving cars "solved" autonomous driving back in 2010.
