"Nature" article:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03348-4

People in the field are running nuts:

“It’s a game changer,” says Andrei Lupas, an evolutionary biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, Germany, who assessed the performance of different teams in CASP. AlphaFold has already helped him find the structure of a protein that has vexed his lab for a decade, and he expects it will alter how he works and the questions he tackles. “This will change medicine. It will change research. It will change bioengineering. It will change everything,” Lupas adds.

Another researcher:

“I think it’s fair to say this will be very disruptive to the protein-structure-prediction field. I suspect many will leave the field as the core problem has arguably been solved,” he says. “It’s a breakthrough of the first order, certainly one of the most significant scientific results of my lifetime.”

Microsoft and Tencent participated too, but DeepMind's AlphaFold was way above the competition.

This is a MASSIVE milestone: the human brain is becoming obsolete faster than most people realise, and the consequences of this will be greater than most people realise.

Not great material for sci-fi drama though:

"The AI Will Fix It"


...etc

A youtube video for those who prefer it.

I think they say in the video that they predicted correctly the Sars Corona virus protein T1064
