RoseTTAFold

Context: A major scientific breakthrough in the area of computational drug development has been provided by the AIbased prediction tool RoseTTAFold in the last four years.

About Rosetta Fold:

• Development: Developed by researchers at the University of Washington, U.S.

• Methodology: Utilizes generative diffusion-based architectures, a type of AI model, to predict structural complexes. Employs neural networks that process massive amounts of input data to generate three-dimensional structures of proteins

• Benefits: Uses deep learning techniques to rapidly and accurately predict protein structures based on limited information. Accelerates the process, as determining the structure of a protein through traditional laboratory methods can take years.

• Neural Network Design: Operates as a three-track neural network, simultaneously considering:
1. Patterns in protein sequences.
2. Interactions between amino acids within a protein.
3. Possible three-dimensional structures of proteins.

• Capabilities: Predicts static structures of proteins and protein-protein interactions. Capable of predicting structures and interactions for any combination of protein, DNA, and RNA molecules.
