The database they used for training included software simulations (and real world data) that accounted for atomic (quantum) interactions. The 3D structure of proteins includes all the quantum interactions. More generally, AI models (aka very large function graphs) are trained on tuples that represent mappings of inputs to outputs (input -&amp;gt; output). The idea then is that whatever structure exists in those pairs/tuples/mappings is discovered by the training process with the help of gradient descent which tunes the…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2305.15614/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
