  • AlphaFold’s Breakthrough in GPCR Research: Revolutionizing Discovery, Yet Awaiting Experimental Proof

    Before the advent of AlphaFold, homology modeling was the most common method for predicting G protein-coupled Homology modeling relies on using the known structure of a homologous protein as a template to model the target protein ( Carlsson, J. et al., 2011 ). For proteins with low sequence similarity to available templates, homology models tend to be less accurate Additional kinetic validations must also be verified to comprehend the functions of the proteins.
