Remember Fold@home, it use shared computer resource (like P2P torrent) to form a super computer (distributed computing).
Protein folded at a fraction of nanosecond... Understanding it, predicting it, and know how protein are formed like some protein in human immune system, virus like HIV, genetic caused Alzheimer diseases ...
So this break through seem a big one and the consequence of it is really hard to imagine.
“We could start screening every compound that is licensed for use in humans,” Dr. Lupas said. “We could face the next pandemic with the drugs we already have.”

Kidneys organ, structure and its operation of chemical filter, dissolve etc. seem very complex at atom or compound level, like protein folding problem. So design an artificial kidneys seem hyper challenging. If AI and deep learning (or something like this) could create a working kidneys, that would be wonderful. Unlike a heart that may be simple mechanic and some electronic pulse. Kidneys are combined of many chemical, protein level of shape, micro structure etc to filer and clean blood.
