DeepMind's AlphaFold 2 Achieves Highest-Accuracy Results at CASP14 Protein Structure Prediction Competition

In November–December 2020, DeepMind's AlphaFold 2 system achieved a median Global Distance Test score of approximately 92.4 across all CASP14 targets, far surpassing the next-best group, in a result that computational biologists described as largely solving the 50-year-old protein-folding problem for single-chain proteins.
