Prediction of protein structures from amino acid sequences, theoretical modeling, has been extremely challenging. In 2020, breakthrough success was achieved by AlphaFold2[1], a project of DeepMind. For an overview of this breakthrough, verified by the bi-annual prediction competition CASP, please see 2020: CASP 14. Below are illustrated some examples of predictions from that competition.
SARS-CoV-2 ORF8=Following the discussion by Rubiera[2] our first example will be SARS-CoV-2 protein ORF8, a protein that affects virulence in COVID-19.
