Question
If provided with a DNA sequence, you should be able to identify where transcription will start;
which regions are introns; where the start and stop of translation will occur; as well as what
the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein will be. Determining the tertiary structure of
a protein is much more challenging however, requiring laborious techniques such as X-ray
crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy. Advances in AI protein structure prediction
methods such as Alpha Fold2, now make it much easier to visualise protein structures based on
the amino acid sequence.
Consider the protein structures shown below for NLR protein A and B. Assess the quality of the
AlphaFold predictions, by comparing it to the protein structures as determined by Cryo-electron
microscopy.
