OT: Protein folding

Today's Proceedings of the (US) National Academy of Sciences starts with an interesting and accessible article on the recent successes in the use of artificial intelligence to predict protein structure from just their amino acid sequence. This has been mentioned here before but this is probably as good a review as you can get.

It might even be on-topic. Nerves use electronic signalling, so we may start doing molecular electronics.

Interesting! Thanks!

On a similar note:

I wonder if it is the Magnetic Vector Potential doing the work of shifting the phase:

The Aharonov–Bohm effect, sometimes called the Ehrenberg–Siday–Aharonov–Bohm effect, is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an electrically charged particle is affected by an electromagnetic potential (f, A), despite being confined to a region in which both the magnetic field B and electric field E are zero.[1] The underlying mechanism is the coupling of the electromagnetic potential with the complex phase of a charged particle's wave function, and the Aharonov–Bohm effect is accordingly illustrated by interference experiments.

It's certainly interesting, but less likely to be of any commercial importance - at least for quite a while.
