The passage around this formula
AlphaFold2 was assessed in CASP14, the blind, independently organized structure-prediction assessment in which competing methods predict structures for proteins whose experimentally solved coordinates are not yet public, and are scored by assessors with no stake in any team’s outcome. Against that standard, AlphaFold2’s median backbone accuracy was 0.96 angstroms of Cα root-mean-square deviation from the experimental structure, against 2.8 angstroms for the next-best method, and its median all-atom accuracy was 1.5 angstroms against 3.5 angstroms for the next-best method [ 9 ] . What that root-mean-square-deviation figure actually measures is worth stating explicitly, because the number is…

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
