Hello, 
we had a 124 aa target in Casp14, without any detectable homology to a known 
structure. Within the experimental errors, the AlphaFold2 model is identical to 
the NMR model we got. That was very convincing. 
Best wishes

Hello. A quick look suggests that a lot of the test structures were solved by 
phaser or molrep, suggesting it is a very welcome improvement on homology 
modelling. It would be interesting to know how it performs with structures of 
new or uncertain fold, if there are any left these days. Without resorting to 
jokes about artificial intelligence, I couldn't make that out from the CASP14 
website or the many excellent articles that have appeared. Best wishes, Jon 
Cooper.

Dear all, 

Just commenting that after the stunning performance of AlphaFold that uses AI 
from Google maybe some of us we could dedicate ourselves to the noble art of 
gardening, baking, doing Chinese Calligraphy, enjoying the clouds pass or 
everything together (just in case I have already prepared my subscription to 
Netflix).

Well, I suppose that we still have the structures of complexes (at the moment). 
I am wondering how the labs will have access to this technology in the future 
(would it be for free coming from the company DeepMind - Google?). It seems 
that they have already published some code. Well, exciting times. 

Cheers, 

Isabel
