Hello Jon, We had a novel structure and it did very well. I haven't tried the MR to see if the model would work, but it was so close that I can't imagine it not working. Our protein was ~185 residues and the closest PDB structures were about 4 Angstrom rmsd over about 70 residues over just one part of the structure (the beta-sheet running through the middle), so pretty different to all the known structures. So I agree with others, the predictions were much better this year. cheers, tom

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.

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.
