Abstract
AlphaFold 3 represents a breakthrough in predicting the 3D structures of complexes directly from their sequences, offering insights into biomolecular interactions. Extending predictions to molecular behavior and function requires a shift from viewing biomolecules as static 3D structures to dynamic conformational ensembles.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
