Résumé

The function of proteins can often be inferred from their three-dimensional structures. Experimental structural biologists spent decades studying these structures, but the accelerated pace of protein sequencing continuously increases the gaps between sequences and structures. The early 2020s saw the advent of a new generation of deep learning-based protein structure prediction tools that offer the potential to predict structures based on any number of protein sequences. In this review, we give an overview of the impact of this new generation of structure prediction tools, with examples of the impacted field in the life sciences. We discuss the novel opportunities and new scientific and technical challenges these tools present to the broader scientific community. Finally, we highlight some potential directions for the future of computational protein structure prediction.
