Show abstract
The introduction of AlphaFold has fundamentally changed our ability to predict the structure of proteins from their primary sequence of amino acids. As machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) based protein prediction continues to advance, we examine the potential of hybrid techniques that combine experiment and computation that may yield more accurate structures than AI alone with significantly reduced experimental burden. We have developed heuristics comparing N-edited NOESY spectra and AlphaFold predicted structures that seek to determine whether the predicted structure reasonably describes the structure of the protein which generated the NOESY. We present a large collection of data connecting entries across the BMRB, PDB and AlphaFold Database that includes experimentally derived structures and corresponding spectra, establishing it as a means to develop and test hybrid methods utilizing AlphaFold and NMR spectra to perform structure determination. These data test the new heuristics ability to identify inaccurate AlphaFold structures. A support vector machine was developed to test the consistency of NMR data with predicted structure and we show its application to the structure of an unsolved engineered protein, LoTOP.

"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.
