#protein folding Open access Oct 2026

Most predicted drug pockets in the apicomplexan dark proteome are artefacts of non-globular structure.

Structural genomics is used to find drug targets among the proteins a genome leaves unnamed: a protein with no sequence homologue but a confidently predicted fold looks both novel and tractable. I show that in Plasmodium falciparum this reasoning fails four times before it reaches a target list. Of 1017 confidently mod...

Three correctable biases inflate estimates of structural novelty from predicted-structure databases

Motivation. Predicted-structure databases have made it routine to ask what fraction of a proteome adopts a fold with no known relative. Reported novelty rates vary widely between studies, and it is unclear how much of that variation is biological rather than methodological. A novelty call is a negative result, so it in...
