Obtaining this dataset prior to alphafold would have cost on the order of $200 trillion. https://twitter.com/wintonARK/status/1552653527670857729

Anyone knowledgeable know if this estimate is accurate? Insane if true

It's impossible to really put a number on it, because the task itself was impossible. PHDs and the field's top scientists simply couldn't figure out many complicated protein structures after years of attempts, and the fact that there's so many (200M+) mean that the problem space is vast.
