Abstract
The great success of AlphaFold programs poses the questions: (i) What is the main reason for this success?(ii) What AlphaFolds does: physics-based prediction of the spatial structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence or recognition of this structure from similarity of the target sequence to some parts of sequences with already known spatial structures?The answers given here are: (i) the main reason for the AlphaFold's success is the usage of huge databases which already cover virtually all protein superfamilies existing in Nature; (ii) using these databases, multiple sequence alignments, and coevolutionary information -like correlations of amino acid residues of the contacting chain regions -AlphaFold…
