Protein-nucleic acid complexes play critical roles in biology. Despite considerable recent advances in protein structure prediction, the prediction of the structures of protein-nucleic acid complexes without homology to known complexes is a largely unsolved problem. Here we extend the RoseTTAFold end-to-end deep learning approach to modeling of nucleic acid and protein-nucleic acid complexes. We develop a single trained network, RoseTTAFoldNA, that rapidly produces 3D structure models with confidence estimates for protein-DNA and protein-RNA complexes, and for RNA tertiary structures. In all three cases, confident predictions have considerably higher accuracy than current state of the art methods. RoseTTAFoldNA should be broadly useful for modeling the structure of naturally occurring protein-nucleic acid complexes, and for designing sequence specific RNA and DNA binding proteins.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
