My life & career
Scientific advances in disease understanding are becoming more accessible to research teams; the benefits to patients require validation.
THE YOTTABIT SCALE INDEX / Genomics and molecular biology
200M+
Two hundred million protein shapes to explore.
Researchers can search a vast database of protein structure predictions.

THE YOTTABIT PERSPECTIVE
What does it mean to me?
Big change is fascinating. Its implications are what matter.
My business
Biotechnology teams can use structure predictions to narrow their experimental search, not to skip experiments.
My industry
Drug discovery, enzyme engineering and materials research gain an enormous starting library of hypotheses.
FROM JIM CARROLL’S WORK
Jim’s long-standing work on accelerating scientific discovery provides the connection between more searchable knowledge and faster experimentation.
Meet the futurist behind YottaBit ↗WHAT COULD I DO MONDAY MORNING?
Choose one specific use where a predicted structure can shorten the search process, then identify the experiment that would verify it.
THE EVIDENCE BEHIND THE STORY + METHODOLOGY & SOURCES
What the number really measures
Protein structures in AlphaFold DB, expressed as count.
The research foundation records: More than 200 million predictions; database description accessed Oct 2026.
Where the claim has limits
Predictions, not experimental structures
Comparisons and historical rates must be independently checked against definitions and original measurements before an audited chart is published.
