DeepMind stunned the biology world late last year when its AlphaFold2 AI model predicted the structure of proteins (a common and very difficult problem) so accurately that many declared the decades-old problem “solved.” Now researchers claim to have...

It says the University of Washington. I kinda wonder if we're just basically in a hamster wheel and they call us the A.I.
Why is helix the only thing that scores high? I always throw some sheets in my designs just because. Or why can't long loops get in there?
Here is a lengthy article from WIRED on the race between UW and DeepMind to make the latest structure prediction methods available for scientists to build on: Without Code for DeepMind’s Protein AI, This Lab Wrote Its Own
Indeed one of the reviewers (in their blog) pointed out that: "it was humorous to see people suggest that the open sourcing of AF2 was in response to RoseTTAFold—it was in fact DeepMind’s plan well before RoseTTAFold was preprinted."
