Abstract [en]

Proteins are dynamic molecules whose movements result in different conformations with different functions. Neural networks such as AlphaFold2 can predict the structure of single-chain proteins with conformations most likely to exist in the PDB. However, almost all protein structures with multiple conformations represented in the PDB have been used while training these models. Therefore, it is unclear whether alternative protein conformations can be genuinely predicted using these networks, or if they are simply reproduced from memory. Here, we train a structure prediction network, Cfold, on a conformational split of the PDB to generate alternative conformations. Cfold enables efficient exploration of the conformational landscape of monomeric protein structures. Over 50% of experimentally known nonredundant alternative protein conformations evaluated here are predicted with high accuracy (TM-score > 0.8).
