A real shame that the future of CASP is in doubt. There is still a lot of progress to be assessed (complexes, nucleic acids, ligands, ensembles). CASP has also been a pioneer in how to run blind assessments.

If you want to know how Europeans feel listen to Claude Malhuret, He is the leader of the independents in France. This is how they see the US now.
That's the full translation.

Good article on the OpenFold work of @moalquraishi.bsky.social, who poses the interesting question: If we can predict how proteins fold without understanding how they do it, “are we even legitimately doing science anymore, or is it something different?“ magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/did...
Did AI Solve the Protein-Folding Problem?
Now that AlphaFold has tackled biology’s greatest challenge, scientists can turn to even bigger questions
