It is a major leap forward for structure prediction for sure.  A hearty congratulations to all those teams over all those years.

The part I don't understand is the accuracy.  If we understand what holds molecules together so well, then why is it that when I refine an X-ray structure and turn the X-ray weight term down to zero ... the molecule blows up in my face?

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
