These laureates are VERY deserving. But an important addendumโno model could be trained without 40 years of Helen Berman and othersโ work at the PDB, and we would not be certain of AFโs success without 30 years of John Moult and othersโ work on CASP. Hats off to them as well ๐ฅ
What a pleasure to have scientifically โbrought upโ in the protein design community ๐๐๐๐ congratulations!! Truly disruptive innovations

TIL that proteins are depicted as "ribbon-like" structures, with alpha helices as spirals and beta-sheets as arrows, because of Jane Richardson.
In 1981, Richardson hand-drew and -colored proteins for a research paper. Her style was later adopted by the protein science field.
