AI3SD Video: How good are protein structure prediction methods at predicting folding pathways?
Deep learning has achieved unprecedented success in predicting a protein’s crystal structure, but whether this achievement relates to a better modelling of the folding process is an open question. In this work, we compare the dynamic pathways from six state-of-the-art protein structure prediction methods to experimental folding data. We find evidence of a weak correlation between simulated dynamics and formal kinetics; however, many of the structures of the predicted intermediates are incompatible with available hydrogen-deuterium exchange experiments. These results suggest that recent advances in protein structure prediction do not provide an enhanced understanding of the principles underpinning protein folding.

Abstract

Deep learning has achieved unprecedented success in predicting a protein’s crystal structure, but whether this achievement relates to a better modelling of the folding process is an open question. In this work, we compare the dynamic pathways from six state-of-the-art protein structure prediction methods to experimental folding data. We find evidence of a weak correlation between simulated dynamics and formal kinetics; however, many of the structures of the predicted intermediates are incompatible with available hydrogen-deuterium exchange experiments. These results suggest that recent advances in protein structure prediction do not provide an enhanced understanding of the principles underpinning protein folding.

More information

Published date: 16 June 2021
Additional Information: Carlos Outeiral was born and raised in northern Spain, where he completed his baccalaureate (achieving a National Award) and earned a BSc in Chemistry at the University of Oviedo (achieving the honours of valedictorian and extraordinary award). Following internships at the Technical University of Munich (Germany) and Harvard University (US), he completed a MPhil in Chemistry at the University of Manchester (UK). He is currently a final-year PhD candidate at the University of Oxford (UK), where his research studies novel algorithms to simulate protein folding at scale. Some of his work has examined the prospects of quantum computing in computational biology, and developed pipelines for biologically-inspired protein structure prediction. In his free time, Carlos is passionate about deep tech, entrepreneurship and open source software.
