  • alphafold2
  • structure-prediction/sampling
  • conformational-dynamics/modeling

Summary

AlphaFold2 predicts ground states more often (Chakravarty and (1)). In a benchmark of Fold-switching proteins, AlphaFold2 predicted the ground state 70% of the time, vs the excited state 30% of the time.
