I think this is BIG. MutS protein recognizes mismatches in DNA. AlphaFold3, when given the MutS sequence and long DNA with the mismatch, finds the mismatch and models the complex in the correct conformation.

In this perspective article, we discuss how accurate modeling methods like @UWproteindesign 's #RoseTTAfold and @DeepMind 's #AlphaFold will empower integrative structural biology, we highlight selected challenges, and dare to envision new avenues for #AI

So, run out of jobs and friends accounts are busy with other molecules so follow me tomorrow to see what happens when I add more ions, ATP, longer DNA and the mismatch!

Great day because we can now predict protein structures accurately (using Google's and @DeepMind 's #AlphaFold2 ), bad day because we cannot do it (the software is not available). Tweet, RT, shout for #OpenFold

Integrative modeling success story: integrative model of Elongator based on low resolution negative stain EM and crosslinks, which we published in 2017 VS high-resolution cryo-EM structure, which collaborators and us published now. #cryoEM @embl

Almost forgot to share: here is my little software package to relax (energy minimize) PDB structures with a simple command . Written to relax unrelaxed AlphaFold etc. models from larger screens but turns out useful in general. Thanks @MSiggel for advice.

@demishassabis I forgot to include Mg2+ in the MutH active site but have only one job remaining and still want to try sth else. A limit of 20 or another access model would be nice, look what could be done with this 😜

BTW. AlphaFold3 nicely places the DNA strand and ions in the expected active site but I don't know whether this comes from templates or not (some templates have RNA there).

@KentLangley Only of the world as we know it ;-) I feel this is a first step towards a predictive computational and personalised model of whole genome regulation, which will accelerate research and medicine. But let's see first if the results hold and was no data leak!

Look with what twist the restriction nuclease story continues... win or fail?

FYI: restriction nuclease HpaI gets placed on the correct cleavage sequence GTT/AAC after I removed all other palindromes and quasi-palindromes from the cleavage sequence. Otherwise, it sticks to them, sometimes with better scores than the correct one.

@aobarska modeled individual proteins with AlphaFold, sub-complexes with @sokrypton 's AlphaFold/ColabFold, and then put all the pieces together using our software Assembline guided by cryo-ET maps of pores from isolated envelopes and directly from cells.

In summary, the AlphaFold3 web server cannot replace the experimental structure determination in some cases, as others have also noted. In addition, incompatible functional states may get mixed up in one model as in my earlier experiment .

AlphaFold3 is insane. MutS protein (green) recognizes base mismatches in DNA (gray), after which it slides off to find MutL matchmaker protein (blue), which positions and activates MutH nuclease (pink) to nick a hemimethylated GATC sequence (red) to activate removal and repair of
