The claim in context
The human problem
Many human proteins lacked experimentally determined structures.
The prior constraint
Structural coverage was incomplete and uneven.
AI’s actual role
AlphaFold predicted structures across the human proteome.
The documented result
The study supplied predictions with per-region confidence estimates.
Why it may matter
Scientists could investigate previously less accessible protein regions.
Limitations
- Coverage is not uniform accuracy; disordered regions and low-confidence predictions need care.
