Protein folding is the problem of how to create proteins that do specific things. Alpa fold has been able to predict, from a sequence of amino acids, what the protein shape will ultimately become by learning from hundreds of thousands of structural protein shapes. The accuracy of their predictive model now is within the range of error of the microscopes that are being used to actually scan and measure those tens.
