Abstract
The missense tolerance ratio (MTR) was developed as a novel approach to assess the deleteriousness of variants. Its three-dimensional successor, MTR3D, was demonstrated powerful at discriminating pathogenic from benign variants. However, its reliance on experimental structures and homologs limited its coverage of the proteome. We have now utilized AlphaFold2 models to develop MTR3D-AF2, which covers 89.31% of proteins and 85.39% of residues across the human proteome. This work has improved MTR3D's ability to distinguish clinically established pathogenic from benign variants. MTR3D-AF2 is freely available as an interactive web server at https://biosig.lab.uq.edu.au/mtr3daf2/.
期刊介绍:
Protein Science, the flagship journal of The Protein Society, is a publication that focuses on advancing fundamental knowledge in the field of protein molecules. The journal welcomes original reports and review articles that contribute to our understanding of protein function, structure, folding, design, and evolution.
Additionally, Protein Science encourages papers that explore the applications of protein science in various areas such as therapeutics, protein-based biomaterials, bionanotechnology, synthetic biology, and bioelectronics.
The journal accepts manuscript submissions in any suitable format for review, with the requirement of converting the manuscript to journal-style format only upon acceptance for publication.
Protein Science is indexed and abstracted in numerous databases, including the Agricultural & Environmental Science Database (ProQuest), Biological Science Database (ProQuest), CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service (ACS), Embase (Elsevier), Health & Medical Collection (ProQuest), Health Research Premium Collection (ProQuest), Materials Science & Engineering Database (ProQuest), MEDLINE/PubMed (NLM), Natural Science Collection (ProQuest), and SciTech Premium Collection (ProQuest).
