In 2022, Google DeepMind released AlphaFold 2 predictions for more than 200 million protein structures.

True if DeepMind and EMBL-EBI released AlphaFold predictions for more than 200 million protein structures during 2022 (the expansion announced in July 2022), one year after the July 2021 database launch. Mostly true if the release was in 2022 and about 200 million (for example 'over 200 million' versus 214 million), or the timing is approximately one year. Mostly false if the 200-million release happened but not in 2022, or the count was clearly below 200 million. False if no release of about this size took place.

Set before the research began.

1. E1 AlphaFold predicts structure of almost every catalogued protein known to science | EMBL EMBL · 28 July 2022

   “The database is being expanded by approximately 200 times, from nearly 1 million protein structures to over 200 million, covering almost every organism on Earth that has had its genome sequenced.”

2. E2 DeepMind releases structure predictions for nearly every known protein Chemical & Engineering News (American Chemical Society) · 5 August 2022

   “The release, on July 28, boosted the number of models predicted with DeepMind’s machine learning algorithm AlphaFold to over 200 million individual proteins from over 10 million species.”

3. E3 AlphaFold reveals the structure of the protein universe Google DeepMind · 28 July 2022 Own record

   “In partnership with EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), we’re now releasing predicted structures for nearly all catalogued proteins known to science, which will expand the AlphaFold DB by over 200x - from nearly 1 million structures to over 200 million structures”

4. E4 AlphaFold predicts structure of almost every catalogued protein known to science | EMBL EMBL · 28 July 2022

   “DeepMind and EMBL-EBI launched the AlphaFold database in July 2021, with more than 350,000 protein structure predictions, including the entire human proteome.”

EMBL's 28 July 2022 announcement (E1) says the AlphaFold database was being expanded from nearly 1 million to over 200 million protein structures. C&E News (E2) independently confirms the 28 July 2022 release of over 200 million predicted structures. The same EMBL item (E4) dates the original database launch to July 2021, so the expansion came about one year later. This matches the criteria for true: a release of more than 200 million structures in 2022, one year after the launch.
