TIL: Under the right conditions even proteins in coagulated egg white can be renatured.
A small nitpick: you meant "string of amino acids". In other words, a protein sequence
Thank you. You are correct.
Don't underestimate the role of structure prediction in human disease.
I'm not. I just don't really find the tech behind it fascinating. When they start coming out with articles saying "This project has successfully predicted X and this is clinically useful in this way," I'm sure I will read it on the edge of my seat like a gripping thriller.

My point is that's a long way off. Like all data driven science, this will be great for forming hypotheses. However, without a falsification hypothesis, and empirical data, it is unlikely to ever reach the point where it's useful clinically.
Okay. I don't see why anyone would feel the need to say that. It seems to miss the fact that my point is that I am not dismissing the importance of this to disease. I'm merely not fascinated by the tech. I said that explicitly, so I would never guess that anyone would think I would need it explained that "This is a long way off."
Edit; The comment I replied to was edited after I began my reply, before I hit "submit." Comment I replied to initially only said My point is that's a long way off.
