AlphaFold2 versus experimental structures: evaluation on G protein-coupled receptors

Xin-heng He et al.

Summary: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important drug targets that play crucial roles in various physiological processes. Although extensive efforts have been made in the field of structural biology, a significant number of GPCR structures remain unsolved due to their structural instability. Recently, AlphaFold2 has been developed as a tool to predict the structure models of GPCRs and other functionally important proteins. However, our evaluation reveals several differences between the predicted models and experimental structures, such as the assembly of domains, shape of ligand-binding pockets, and conformation of binding interfaces. These differences hinder the use of predicted structure models in functional studies and structure-based drug design, where reliable high-resolution structural information is required.

Modeling the expansion of virtual screening libraries

Jiankun Lyu et al.

Summary: Recently, 'tangible' virtual libraries have made billions of molecules readily available, but their prioritization for synthesis and testing requires considering their diversity, similarity to bio-like molecules, and changes in receptor fit and artifacts with library size. Comparisons were made between a 3 million 'in-stock' molecules library and billion-plus tangible libraries. The tangible library showed a 19,000-fold decrease in preference for bio-like molecules compared to the 'in-stock' library. High-ranking molecules from docking campaigns in ultra-large libraries were also dissimilar to bio-like molecules. However, better-fitting molecules were found as the library size increased, improving the score logarithmically.

AlphaFill: enriching AlphaFold models with ligands and cofactors

Maarten L. Hekkelman et al.

Summary: Artificial intelligence-based protein structure prediction has greatly impacted biomolecular sciences. However, the predicted protein models in the AlphaFold database lack coordinates for small molecules and ions necessary for structure and function. The AlphaFill algorithm addresses this issue by transplanting missing small molecules and ions from experimentally determined structures to predicted protein models.

Benchmarking Refined and Unrefined AlphaFold2 Structures for Hit Discovery

Yuqi Zhang et al.

Summary: The AlphaFold2 (AF2) algorithm predicts proteins' 3D structures from amino acid sequences. The open AlphaFold protein structure database covers the complete human proteome. Through virtual screening, AF2 structures show comparable early enrichment of known active compounds to apo structures, and with refinement using an induced-fit protocol, the performance in structure-based virtual screening can be improved. Thus, AF2 structures hold promise for in silico hit identification.
