- How we know ↓
Many human proteins lacked experimentally determined structures.
Structural coverage was incomplete and uneven.
AlphaFold predicted structures across the human proteome.
What was shown, and what wasn’t
Shown
The study supplied predictions with per-region confidence estimates.
Not shown · limits
- Coverage is not uniform accuracy; disordered regions and low-confidence predictions need care.
Bright editorial interpretation
Scientists could investigate previously less accessible protein regions.
Still open
Combine predictions with experimental biology.

Bright compared this account with the linked original and supporting sources and kept reported, budgeted, projected, and observed claims distinct. Bright did not independently audit the underlying records.
Maturity describes the tested or operational setting. Confidence describes support for the particular claim; one does not determine the other.
