AlphaFold Model Quality Self-Assessment Improvement Via Deep Graph Learning

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1002/pro.70274 · Paper page

Abstract

In the past several years significant advances have been made in the field of deep-learning based computational modeling of proteins, with DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 being among the most prominent. Alongside the atom coordinates, these computationally modeled protein structures typically contain self-confidence metrics that can be used to gauge the relative modeling quality of individual residues, or the protein as a whole. Unfortunately, these scores are not always accurate, and may sometimes annotate poorly modeled regions of the protein as high confidence. Here, we introduce EQA-Fold to address this problem. EQA-Fold overhauls the LDDT prediction head of AlphaFold to provide more accurate self-confidence scores. We show that EQA-Fold is able to provide more accurate self-confidence scores than the standard AlphaFold architectures, as well as recent Model Quality Assessment protocols.

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.
