Abstract

Accurate protein side-chain modeling is crucial for protein folding and protein design. In the past decades, many successful methods have been proposed to address this issue. However, most of them depend on the discrete samples from the rotamer library, which may have limitations on their accuracies and usages. In this study, we report an open-source toolkit for protein side-chain modeling, named OPUS-Rota4. It consists of three modules: OPUS-RotaNN2, which predicts protein side-chain dihedral angles; OPUS-RotaCM, which measures the distance and orientation information between the side chain of different residue pairs; and OPUS-Fold2, which applies the constraints derived from the first two modules to guide side-chain modeling. In summary, OPUS-Rota4 adopts the dihedral angles predicted by OPUS-RotaNN2 as its initial states, and uses OPUS-Fold2 to refine the side-chain conformation with the constraints derived from OPUS-RotaCM. In this case, we convert the protein side-chain modeling problem into a side-chain contact map prediction problem. OPUS-Fold2 is written in Python and TensorFlow2.4, which is user-friendly to include other differentiable energy terms into its side-chain modeling procedure. In other words, OPUS-Rota4 provides a platform in which the protein side-chain conformation can be dynamically adjusted under the influence of other processes, such as protein-protein interaction. We apply OPUS-Rota4 on 15 FM predictions submitted by Alphafold2 on CASP14, the results show that the side chains modeled by OPUS-Rota4 are closer to their native counterparts than the side chains predicted by Alphafold2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
