Accurate Protein Dynamic Conformational Ensembles: Combining AlphaFold, MD and Amide 15 N( 1 H) NMR Relaxation
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.3390/ijms26188917 · Paper page
Abstract
Conformational heterogeneity is critical for protein function, but the validation of dynamic ensembles remains a challenge. In this study, we introduced an approach that integrates free MD simulations, using an AlphaFold-generated structure as the starting point, with experimental relaxation data to identify biologically relevant conformational ensembles. For the extracellular region of Streptococcus pneumoniae Psr Sp , we found that only certain segments of the MD long trajectory aligned well with experimental data. The defined ensembles revealed two regions with increased flexibility that play important functional roles.

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.
