- Most of the way that it's done is experimentally where you literally fold the protein and then confirm the imaging.
So he's referring to projects like folding at home Seti boink.

- Also, I mean protein folding starting to get into that space where learning is doing.
- You're going to have things doing protein folding and misfolding exchange.
Examples
-
So if you care about folding proteins, this is good.
-
However, only one folding, the native folding of that protein is functional.

Also, I mean protein folding starting to get into that space where learning is doing.
-
And around the time of my first experiments, this was published, which says bimolecular folding in vacuum a crazy idea.
-
But here what we found is there is a new protein folding, very newly identified folding machinery called ATP dependent.
-
OK, so, so basically, like there's a real problem with folding and unfolding proteins.
-
But the protein that you see here isn't being folded by an algorithm at all.

Etymology
The word folding comes from the same root fold, meaning 'to bend into shape'. So when scientists talk about protein folding, they mean the protein bends into the right shape so it can work in the body.
