Dear All,
After the pandemic, we're back for you! Over last 6 years we digested for you over 1K events (see the list at the bottom ;-)) with almost 300 members of the Google Group.
Do Science - SciEvents SciEvents is a community-driven, shared calendar of scientific events in bioscience organized in Warsaw.
—————————————————————
We'd like to invite you to the following scientific events.

Abstract:
I was the assessor for highaccuracy models in last year CASP experiment
(Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction), in which computational
groups try to predict the threedimensional structure of proteins for which
neither they nor the organizers know the answer at the time of prediction.
For the first time in CASP history all targets ended up being highaccuracy
targets, because one predictor (AlphaFold2) predicted structures at an
accuracy that often rivaled that of experimental methods. After being
actively engaged in CASP for over two decades and seeing essentially no
progress between 2002 (CASP5) and 2016 (CASP12), I had given up hope that
the protein folding problem would be breached in my lifetime, but now it
has. I will cover as far as I can the main questions I am constantly asked:
What happened at CASP14? Are AlphaFold2 predictions as good as crystal
structures? Is the protein folding problem now solved? Does AlphaFold2
predict protein interactions? Dynamics? Unstructure? Where do the other
leading groups stand (Baker, Zhang, Tencent)? I will also try to outline
some thoughts about how this will impact the Life Sciences.
