Distograms are data structures output by AlphaFold, along with the predicted 3D coordinates of the target protein, that encode predictions about Euclidean distances between pairs of amino acids. Although distograms are often overlooked, they do provide information that is to some extent complementary to that of the final 3D model. Here, we introduce dgram2dmap, a simple tool to convert distograms into distance maps that can be visualised and used in external tools for further downstream analyses. dgram2dmap runs within seconds to minutes, is open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/clami66/dgram2dmap.

Matching journals

The top 3 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"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.
