AlphaFold3 extends its predecessors’ capabilities by predicting structures not only for proteins but also for DNA, RNA, and their interactions. It marks a breakthrough in biomolecular modeling but still struggles with dynamic proteins and complex environments. Experimental validation remains essential, as AlphaFold3’s predictions, while powerful, can misrepresent certain structures—reinforcing the need for a balanced approach that combines both computational and experimental data for accurate structural biology insights.
FoldSeek is revolutionizing protein analysis by rapidly clustering millions of protein structures, revealing conserved patterns and uncovering unknown structures. It combines speed and sensitivity, making structural comparisons up to 10,000 times faster than traditional tools—essential for advancing drug design and evolutionary research.
Starting with multiple protein structures? Structural similarity can guide your drug design journey by revealing evolutionary relationships and potential shared functions among proteins. Techniques like structural alignment and clustering enable deeper insights, helping to spot functional motifs and organize complex data for targeted research.
The new DiffDock-L improves drug docking accuracy by 50%, with smarter training and more diverse data, but caution is still advised: even with broader binding pose predictions, each result should be thoroughly validated before use in drug design.
