Highly accurate protein structure prediction for the human proteome

Kathryn Tunyasuvunakool, John Jumper and Demis Hassabis

This companion paper applied AlphaFold to predict structures for nearly the entire human proteome and 20 other key organisms, producing a large public database of predicted models. It assessed coverage and confidence across the human proteome, showing that a substantial fraction of residues could be modeled with high or very high confidence. The work created the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, greatly expanding structural coverage beyond experimentally determined structures.
