🗻 Protein structure prediction is at the single-structure frontier

Dramatic advances in protein structure prediction have sparked debate as to whether the problem of predicting structure from sequence is solved or not. In paper published in Nature Methods, I argue that AlphaFold2 and its peers are currently limited by the fact that they predict only a single structure, instead of a structural distribution, and that this realization is crucial for the next generation of structure prediction algorithms.
