Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t AlphaFold basically solve protein folding, as in their master database of folds is now complete? Doesn’t it make sense to move on at this point?
It does not do everything perfectly. There’s many abnormalities to protein structures and research in that area of biology is certainly far from done too. So there is definitely room to improve it further.
