- drb493 8mo agoI'd discourage claiming any biological process is "solved." But to your point: No--AlphaFold is an amazing machine learning approach to predicting protein structure but Folding@Home is still immensely useful for simulating how proteins fold up over a timescale. They are/will be complimentary methods. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11892350/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11892350/
- dekhn 8mo agono, alphafold is basically just a static structure predictor. folding@home explicitly models the folding process (the journey, not just the destination).
