Conditioned Protein Structure Prediction

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1103/prxlife.2.043001

Abstract

Deep learning based protein structure prediction has facilitated major breakthroughs in biological sciences. However, current methods struggle with alternative conformation prediction and offer limited integration of expert knowledge on protein dynamics. We introduce AFEXplorer, a generic approach that tailors AlphaFold predictions to user-defined constraints in coarse coordinate spaces by optimizing embedding features. Its effectiveness in generating functional protein conformations in accordance with predefined conditions were demonstrated through comprehensive examples. AFEXplorer serves as a versatile platform for conditioned protein structure prediction, bridging the gap between automated models and domain-specific insights.

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.
