Abstract

Protein Folding: Past and Future: Fifty years ago the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to Max Perutz and John Kendrew for determining the structure of globular proteins. Since first viewing their structure of myoglobin, scientists have sought to understand protein folding. Dill and MacCallum (p. 1042 ) review the progress that has been made on three central questions: What is the code that relates sequence to structure? How do proteins fold so fast? Can protein structure be computationally predicted? While we have come some way toward answering these questions, new questions have been gene rated. It is no longer useful to talk about “solving the protein-folding problem”—protein folding has grown into a field of research where the next 50 years promise to be as exciting as the last.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
