In the more than a half-century prior to AlphaFold, structures had been solved for only about 170,000 of those proteins.1
Consisting of long chains of amino acids, proteins fold to form 3D structures that are the key to the protein’s biological function. Understanding how one-dimensional amino acid sequences ...
