The Curse

"Profound advances in protein structure prediction, and our own recent work on exploring protein fold space, both of which use deep learning methods, got us thinking about something one of us (PEB) has taught for a long time—the curse of the ribbon. Do some reductionist models and/or scientific representations, such as the ribbon diagram illustrating protein structure, facilitate research, only to eventually hinder further insight?"
