I'm impressed and grateful that DeepMind released this resource, this will save a lot of compute from labs trying to replicate an entire exome for themselves. While some structures look great, there are still some misses here. Important structures like BRCA1 (a well-studied breast cancer associated protein) are just structures for the BRCT and RING domains surrounded by a low-confidence string of amino acids, likely shaped to be globular: https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/entry/P38398

Maybe I was wrong for expecting the impossible here, but I was excited to see this specific structure and it appears that there is still work to do. Nevertheless, kudos to Deepmind on their amazing achievement and contributions to the field!
