AlphaFold (DeepMind/Alphabet) solved the protein structure prediction problem by taking the amino acid sequence of proteins and predicting their three-dimensional structure with near-perfect accuracy, then released predictions for 200 million known proteins as open-source public goods—representing a seismic productivity advance for biomedical science.

“Alpha fold... they they set themselves the task of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins from the amino acid sequence... basically it worked... they took the 200 million noan proteins in the world predicted the three-dimensional structure and published it as open source”
