Protein structure prediction has become extremely accurate, and its results are now comparable with those of experimental methods for a large number of proteins. However, there remain some technical hurdles to clear before the current structure prediction tools can be directly applied to a wide range of biomedical problems. New perspectives on future developments in the area of structure prediction and its biomedical applications are presented.
