Nope. Not at all. That&amp;#x27;s a misunderstanding of the goal of science which is to explain how the world works. AlphaFold, like all neural network models is a predictive model but has no explanatory power. It can predict the structure of proteins from sequences but it cannot explain why, or how, proteins fold. Scientists can still not explain how proteins fold, certainly not by interacting with AlphaFold. Why is that a problem? You said you care about results.
