[3dem] The AlphaFold Protein Structure Database now contains 214 *million* structures

[Gerard Kleywegt]

Hi all,

For those of you who missed it, as of today, the AlphaFold Protein Structure 
Database contains 214 million models predicted with AlphaFold, covering almost 
all of UniProt.

So, if your favourite protein was not available in the database before today, 
it's worth checking in again at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/__;!!Mih3wA!ClYiCe1mbwRknUZCwHP9I_UZHhcE7qjjZudM3JMUpHuPoMWt8xWn8m5rLPVAVSbD-h7IDHYxakkqySyIWu-8dRJV$  now.
