How do they know their structures are correct?

>>biffta+q
Same as any other prediction I'd presume. Run it against a known protein and see how the answer lines up. Predict the structure of an unknown protein, then use traditional methods (x-ray crystallography, maybe STEM, etc) to verify.

"Verify" is almost correct. The crystallography data is taken to be "ground truth" and the predicted protein structure from AlphaFold is taken to be a good guess starting point. Then other software can produce a model that is a best fit to the ground truth data starting from the good guess. So even if the guess is wrong in detail it's still useful to reduce the search space.
