I was really wowed when I saw it,” says John Moult at the University of Maryland, one of the competition’s organisers. “This is the first time we’ve come close to approaching experimental usefulness, which is pretty extraordinary.”Proteins are vital for life. Cells are full of machines – from turbines that generate energy to transporters that walk along tracks pulling cargo – that are built from proteins, and the shapes of these machines are crucial. For instance, the coronavirus can enter and infect cells because the spike protein on its surface fits into a receptor on human cells, like a key into a lock.
