THE HAPPENING WORLD: DeepMind/AlphaFold Publishes 3D Structure of Most Human Proteins
Today with @emblebi, we're launching the #AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, which offers the most complete and accurate picture of the human proteome, doubling humanity’s accumulated knowledge of high-accuracy human protein structures - for free: https://t.co/vtBGmTkKhy 1/ pic.twitter.com/XgBQTn2fuC

And the database presently includes twenty other organisms.
OK, I didn't think I'd wake up this morning to find that all Plasmodium falciparum protein structures have been predicted.. And there is a data base to play around with them, too! 🤯https://t.co/om2HcInto1#AlphaFold #embl #ebi pic.twitter.com/6Hhozds5R4

Plans are for the database to eventually cover more than 100,000 millions proteins catalogued in UniRef90.
For example, here is the paired box protein Pax-6 (“EYELESS”) from Drosophila melanogaster.
