Abstract

Google DeepMind's protein structure prediction algorithm, AlphaFold, has received an update that expands its predictive capabilities to include a broad range of biomolecular interactions. The update has sparked controversy among researchers due to the lack of open-source code accompanying the publication in Nature. Many scientists have expressed frustration at the limited accessibility of AlphaFold 3, as it is only available through a web server with restrictions on inputs and usage. The scientific community is calling for greater transparency and reproducibility in the field of protein structure prediction. [Extracted from the article]
