AlphaFold and Docking Approaches for Antibody–Antigen and Other Targets: Insights From CAPRI Rounds 47–55
1. This study evaluates the integration of AlphaFold2 and docking techniques in modeling antibody-antigen and other biomolecular complexes, using blind predictive challenges from CAPRI rounds 47–55. It highlights advances in structure prediction and scoring strategies for challenging targets.
2. A key innovation is the use of AlphaFold2 with massive sampling, generating diverse structural models. For an antibody-peptide target (Target 231), the method produced near-native models with medium accuracy, achieving an interface RMSD of 0.96 Å.
3. The study reveals that AlphaFold-derived confidence scores, such as pLDDT, can aid model ranking. However, limitations in these metrics were noted for certain antibody-MHC targets (233, 234), suggesting room for improvement in scoring interfaces.
4. Traditional docking methods, such as ZDOCK and Rosetta, were also employed to complement AlphaFold predictions. These tools proved effective in refining and scoring models, especially for protein-DNA and homology-based templates.
5. A major insight is that combining AlphaFold with docking tools enhances predictive power, but accuracy remains constrained for highly flexible or low-confidence complexes, indicating the need for future methodological refinements.
6. The study underscores the potential of AlphaFold and similar deep learning methods for antibody-antigen modeling. It also highlights the necessity for adapted scoring metrics to improve ranking and identification of accurate models in challenging scenarios.
7. Lessons from CAPRI emphasize the importance of community-driven benchmarks in driving advancements in computational structural biology. They also demonstrate the evolving role of AI in addressing previously intractable problems in complex modeling.

Tu Youyou discovered a substance called artemisinin, which can be used to treat malaria. Tu not only found a way to extract artemisinin from traditional Chinese medicine, she also tested the new drug on herself to speed up development time.
#NobelPrize
The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.
In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.
