Protein structure prediction evolution detailed in new arXiv review

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new review paper published on arXiv details the evolution of protein structure prediction methods. It categorizes advancements into four phases, highlighting key transitions from early evolutionary coupling features to learned sequence representations like those in AlphaFold2 and ESMFold. The paper also traces the shift from monomer folding to modeling complex molecular systems with models such as AlphaFold-Multimer and AlphaFold3, and finally, the recent move towards design-oriented generative modeling exemplified by RFdiffusion.
