A shape full of questions

AlphaFold tools predict protein structures and molecular interactions, giving researchers a starting point for questions that a sequence alone cannot easily answer.

A prediction is a starting point

A predicted structure can guide research. It does not, by itself, establish a medicine’s effectiveness or safety; health applications require appropriate validation and experiments.

Read the result carefully

In a research story, separate what the model predicted from what was tested. Write one question that still needs an experiment.
