autocorrects protein structures in real time
You spend days processing cryo-EM micrographs and fitting protein models into density maps. The computation never stops.
The one thing AI can't do
You alone can explain why the cryo-EM grid looks like a disaster area today.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Sensors identify high-quality grids without your eyes needing to look.
Month 4
Vision models find particles faster than a exhausted human postdoc.
Month 8
Servers optimize protein structures while you are still sleeping.
Month 13
All your bespoke Python tools are replaced by one standard module.
Month 19 · D-Day
The lab autonomously publishes findings before you even log in.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
