What are some limitations of the Alpha-fold?
AlphaFold DB currently focuses on the use case validated in CASP14: predicting the structure of a single protein chain with a naturally occurring sequence. Though has some limitations;
Conclusion
AlphaFold 1 proved that neural networks possess the complexity required in order to be capable of modeling the protein folding mechanism. AlphaFold 2 further improves accuracy by using a more representative internal representation and embedding equivariance knowledge in the model. However, the technologies in the field of Health sector-based lab research need to focus on seeing the current scenario.
