In this Part 2, I will be talking about the prediction performance of Alphafold2 and what it means to biology. Alphafold 2 is a computational framework developed by Deepmind for protein structure prediction and in the recent Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP14), Alphafold 2 outscored other contenders by a huge margin by scoring in excess of 80 and in some categories in excess of 90 GDT. (Note: A score higher than 90 is on par with experimental methods such as the X-ray crystallography). This represents a big milestone for artificial intelligence (AI) and demonstrates the possibilities that AI has to offer.
