A Structure Nobody Measured: When a Predicted Protein Structure May Stand In for an Experiment, Who Decides, and What Reopens It

AlphaFold made it possible to read the shape of almost any protein without an experiment, and its makers, its database and its independent testers all hand the same question back to the person using it: may this prediction stand in for a measurement, here, for this purpose? This short study reads eight openly licensed articles, from the AlphaFold papers to the database's own guidance and the tests against crystal maps, docking and shape-shifting proteins, to ask who decides, by when, and what would make them look again.
