Revision 139 as rendered

For fifty years this was a grand challenge. CASP, a blind biennial benchmark, served as the verifier: predictors submit structures before experiments are released. AlphaFold 2 reached accuracy comparable to experiment on most targets, and Hassabis, Jumper and Baker shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Dynamics, disordered proteins and complexes are still open.

Evidence tier V3 is the import default for a result the curation records as settled in the published record. No formal proof or certificate is attached to this page yet.

Posed 1972, Christian Anfinsen: sequence determines structure. Closed 2020, AlphaFold 2 at CASP14.

What would settle it
