It’s not an overstatement:
AlphaFold, developed by the Alphabet-owned company DeepMind, predicted the 3-D structures of almost every known protein—about 200 million in all
- nybsjytm 2y agoI can also make a prediction for every single known protein, it's trivial to do. My own predictions would be uniformly wrong. The question is how accurate AlphaFold's predictions are - of course, this question was almost totally avoided by the news reports and DeepMind press releases. It is accurate enough (and accurate often enough) to be a useful tool but by no means accurate enough to say they "literally solved protein folding."
