    Request : Please also consider making an 30-40 min version documentary of this with some more details of protein folding and nuances. I have watched AlphaGo documentary over and over again(i'm sure many others would have) , and still gives me goosebumps.

    As a protein chemist and structural biologist, I truly am impressed and congratulations to the DeepMind / Alpha Fold team. This is a major advancement and if you are taking requests, please present a solution structure for apolipoproteins. Their lipid-free state has defied analysis for over 50 years and it would be terrific to have a validated base structure to build upon.

    • @serenolopez-darwin1975

    • @neousagi
      @neousagi 3 роки тому +15

      @@serenolopez-darwin1975 Structural prediction software like Rosetta have been instrumental in identifying structural domains and conformational states that were not anticipated and led to re-evaluation of data and a more clear idea of the shapes proteins may be adopting and how they may be doing their jobs. But no insult intended to the Rosetta software team but the algorithm(s) used don't necessarily result in a model or set of models that conform to reality. Often the more likely answer is what shape a molecule can adopt, not what conformation it does adopt. What Alphafold does is increases the "accuracy" of the estimated shape tremendously, although I predict that proteins with multiple conformational states or that are highly adaptive will still be elusive targets. A good example are lipoproteins.

      @serenolopez-darwin1975 3 роки тому +1

      @@neousagi Yes I assume that even with google's computing power, IDPs are just too intense to simulate unless MD gets really accurate really fast. Rosetta seems to work fairly well for de novo design though, if only of super-stable proteins. I know it has the issue of trending towards extreme energy favorability while natural proteins don't always, does AlphaFold predict less stable crystal structures accurately?

    • @neousagi
      @neousagi 3 роки тому

      @@serenolopez-darwin1975 To address your question, first there are three basic areas of protein structural analysis: X-ray crystallographers, computational predictive analysts, and wet lab empirical analysts. Consistently these approaches yield different results for proteins with multiple or dynamic structures. The primary reason is that x-ray crystallography identifies the ground state or unit structure that is most prevalent near ground state. Software algorithms are designed to reproduce x-ray structures (as reported here for AlphaFold) and empirical analysis generally evaluates the native fold, which is not necessarily ground state. Viral fusion proteins are another good example of molecules whose native fold is not the same as their ground state fold. So often empirical data will not match X-ray or predictive analysis and therein lies a core debate in the field. Because X-ray and predictive analysis can display a protein's structure down to atomic level resolution in beautiful ribbon structures, they present convincing impressions of how molecules might fold. So the breakthrough with AlphaFold is not so much that they solved all structures but that they have created ground state prediction that is accurate enough to match crystallographic data. To my knowledge, this does not solve the gap between X-Ray crystallography and empirical data analysis (chief amongst them are the NMR, EPR, and spectrographic scientists).

      @@neousagi Ah, I've revealed the depth of my ignorance here, I didn't realize that crystal structures are also always ground state (I'm a computational scientist specialized in genomics and so am entirely unfamiliar with the actual experimental methods of XRC). I always heard that conformation to crystal structure was the gold standard of structural prediction but didn't realize the high-stability problem extended even beyond computational analysis to XRC as well. Thanks for the clarification, maybe now I won't seem so dumb when I talk to the proteomics folks lol

    Most people have no idea of how big of a deal this is. Generative AI gets all the press right now, but protein folding has the ability to cure basically ALL diseases and even aging. For instance, AlphaFold 2 was used this year to come up with a potential drug for liver cancer in 30 DAYS, when it used to take years and cost billions. People would spend their entire Master's Degree on analyzing _one_ protein.
    A recently retired GP (sometimes, the view from the trenches is clearer, ironically) says he is absolutely stunned at what this can do.
    I don't know the timeline, but there are already other protein-folding programs that are 60 to 1 million (not a typo) times faster than AlphaFold 2.
