I was wondering the same thing. But I also wonder if having good guesses makes the x-ray crystallography and other experiments to verify a given protein easier/cheaper/quicker? I don't know enough about the actual techniques to have an informed opinion but I would think it would be helpful.



It does. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03348-4 reports a case of x-ray crystallography helped by AlphaFold prediction.
