Has the Protein Folding Model Been Solved?

Now quite a long time ago we examined this problem and various solutions.  Here revisting. 

Deepmind Solves Protein Folding Problem with AI?

Not completely.  Talk by Sabine Hossenfelder   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhJWAdZl-Ck&t=25s  overviews the solution mentioned above. 

Recently Deepmind made big headlines with its AlphaFold success. Did it really "solve" protein folding? What did actually happen? In this video I explain what the protein folding problem is, why it's important, and what the current situation is.

The protein animation shown at 1 mins 13 seconds goes back to this publication:
