You are still misunderstanding me. I am not saying we have a theory of how proteins fold. We have theories on force interactions between atoms. Those theories are pretty complete and do not say that predictions of protein shapes are impossible. We are not blocked from trying, like, for example, in predicting decaying atoms. So trying stuff like AlphaFold is not going against current understanding.
My point is much more basic, if you will. So I meant "allow" as in there is no theory saying that we cannot do it. Not that we have a theory how to do it.
