Folding@home isn’t the only group that’s interested in folding proteins. Google, via its faintly terrifying offshoot DeepMind (which has an AI that can play Starcraft much better than you can), has also been having a go, but its AlphaFold software takes a rather different approach.
Essentially, what AlphaFold has been able to do is sidestep the whole inconvenient simulation process, and go straight from looking at the flat chain of amino acids to its final 3D shape by predicting how it will fold, then honing that prediction to a remarkable degree of accuracy.
