AlphaFold2 is published and the database opens
node
The method was published in Nature (596, 583–589) in July 2021, and EMBL-EBI opened the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database in the same month with predicted structures for the human proteome and a set of model organisms. Publishing the method and giving away the outputs at once is what converted a competition result into infrastructure: a laboratory anywhere could now begin from a predicted structure without running the model or negotiating access to it.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
