@xtaldave @strucbio I always had the feeling #AF2 was published because of #RosettaFold.... But surely nobody knows for sure 😉

The Protein Prediction Showdown: RosettaFold All Atom vs. AlphaFold - Breaking Boundaries in Protein Structure Prediction

A new protein structure prediction model released by David Baker’s laboratory is making waves in the scientific community, challenging the dominance of DeepMind’s AlphaFold. The model, named RosettaFold All Atom, not only predicts protein structures but also incorporates bound DNA and ligands. What sets this model apart is its open-source nature, allowing for greater accessibility and collaboration within the scientific community. The rivalry between DeepMind’s AlphaFold and Baker’s laboratory model adds an exciting dynamic to the field of protein structure prediction.

Scientists develop deep learning method to design bilin-binding proteins

David Baker's group at the University of Washington, Seattle, U.S., have developed a novel deep learning method, RoseTTAFold All-Atom (RFAA), for prediction and design of complexes of proteins, small molecules, and nucleic acids. Subsequently, they developed RFdiffusionAA, which builds protein structures around small molecules.

First session over at #EMBOComp3D - was very nice to hear John Jumper and @minkbaek talking about #AlphaFold and #RosettaFold next to each other. It's vitally important to have two methods challenging each other - this is essentially how science works. Kudos two both teams!
#Alphafold might be getting much better in ligand binding prediction https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/a-glimpse-of-the-next-generation-of-alphafold/ - sounds similar to #RoseTTAFold AA (#RFAA) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.09.561603v1 can't wait to get both on my hands... 😀 @strucbio #StructuralBiology
A glimpse of the next generation of AlphaFold

Progress update: Our latest AlphaFold model shows significantly improved accuracy and expands coverage beyond proteins to other biological molecules, including ligands.

“Nuestros programas de diseño de proteínas están abiertos y los usan investigadores en todo el mundo”

El laboratorio de este bioquímico en la Universidad de Washington ha desarrollado una vacuna contra la covid-19 y tiene en marcha un espray nasal que bloquea virus respiratorios. Además, está trabajando en inmunoterapia del cáncer y catálisis para la descomposición de moléculas tóxicas en el medio ambiente, entre otras aplicaciones. Todas ellas se basan en proteínas sintéticas creadas mediante inteligencia artificial de aprendizaje profundo.
