According to one of CASP co-founders John Moult, AlphaFold scored around 90 on a 100-point scale of prediction accuracy for moderately difficult protein targets. [19] AlphaFold was made open source in 2021, and in CASP15 in 2022, while DeepMind did not enter, virtually all of the high-ranking teams used AlphaFold or modifications of AlphaFold. [20]
The 2020 version of the program (AlphaFold 2, 2020) is significantly different from the original version that won CASP 13 in 2018, according to the team at DeepMind. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] The software design used in AlphaFold 1 contained a number of modules, each trained separately, that were used to produce the guide potential that was then combined ...
Some recent successful methods based on the CASP experiments include I-TASSER, HHpred and AlphaFold. In 2021, AlphaFold was reported to perform best. [61] Knowing the structure of a protein often allows functional prediction as well. For instance, collagen is folded into a long-extended fiber-like chain and it makes it a fibrous protein.
An AI system developed by Google‘s DeepMind has made a “once in a generation” breakthrough that could have a dramatic impact on the way we treat diseases: accurately predicting how proteins ...
Structure prediction software such as AlphaFold rely on co-evolutionary data derived from multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and homologous protein sequences to predict structures of proteins. However, per definition, de novo proteins lack homologous sequences, as they are evolutionarily new. [ 17 ]
AlphaFold's protein structure prediction results at CASP were described as "transformational" and "astounding". [94] [95] Some researchers noted that the accuracy is not high enough for a third of its predictions, and that it does not reveal the physical mechanism of protein folding for the protein folding problem to be considered solved. [96]
"AlphaFold has been the first competitor to reach over 90% prediction accuracy in the 26-year history of CASP" - even that is slightly problematic because what does it mean "accuracy" of 90%? Global distance test includes distance cutoffs like 4 and 8 A for CA atoms in the best of five computational models (this is a manipulation with numbers!).
Interpretation of PAE values allows scientists to understand the level of confidence in the predicted structure of a protein: Lower PAE values between residue pairs from different domains indicate that the model predicts well-defined relative positions and orientations for those domains.
