> CASP14 #s just came out and they’re astounding—DeepMind looks to have solved protein structure prediction. Median GDT_TS went from 68.5 (CASP13) to 92.4!!!! Cf. their 2nd best CASP13 struct scored 92.8 (out of 100). Median RMSD is 2.1Å. I think it's over https://predictioncenter.org/casp14/zscores_final.cgi

What does that Å mean? Never seen our letter been used in a scientific context.


Ångström, a length unit. 1 Å = 0.1 nm.


It's the symbol for Angstrom, a unit of length 10^-10m https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom


0.1nm - approximately a size of an atom - used in organic chemistry often.


Standard distance measure in most atomic-scale condensed-matter fields. Certainly inorganic crystallography/materials science/condensed matter physics.
