In 2020, the AlphaFold project of Google's DeepMind team demonstrated a major breakthrough in predicting protein structure from sequence. Their success in the blind CASP competition astonished many experts. For an overview, see [[Theoretical models]]. | In 2020, the AlphaFold project of Google's DeepMind team demonstrated a major breakthrough in predicting protein structure from sequence.
