mSphere of Influence: The power of <i>in situ</i> —structural biology without leaving “home”

Nicholas A. Wood works in the field of biophysics with an emphasis on <i>in situ</i> protein structures in microbiological systems. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on the power and limitations of AlphaFold, open questions in structural biology, and the cross-disciplinary potential of microbiological training.
