Abstract

Recent breakthroughs in protein structure prediction have increasingly relied on the use of deep neural networks. These recent methods are notable in that they produce 3-D atomic coordinates as a direct output of the networks, a feature which presents many advantages. Although most techniques of this type make use of multiple sequence alignments as their primary input, a new wave of methods have attempted to use just single sequences as the input. We discuss the make-up and operating principles of these models, and highlight new developments in these areas, as well as areas for future development.Copyright © 2023 The Authors.
