Futurism: Scientists Unimpressed By Google’s Protein Folding Algorithm

Futurism: Scientists Unimpressed By Google’s Protein Folding Algorithm. “While critical scientists don’t diminish the importance of DeepMind’s achievement, they do question whether AlphaFold 2 will actually provide a useful tool to researchers like DeepMind claims. DeepMinds’ AlphaFold 2 algorithm scored higher at the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) competition, which tests potential solutions to the protein folding problem, than any other team in history. That may be a weakness.”
