Much of the success of breakthroughs, such as AlphaFold, is thanks to a database of protein structures dreamed up in the 1960s by Helen Berman go.nature.com/4hp4UCP

The huge protein database that spawned AlphaFold and biology’s AI revolution

Nature - Pioneering crystallographer Helen Berman helped to set up the massive collection of protein structures that underpins the Nobel-prize-winning tool’s success.

Science is not really happening when the goal is a paper, a presentation, a grant, or any product. It only really happens when the goal is a process of discovery.
