Abstract
The AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AFDB) contains more than 214 million predicted protein structures composed of domains, which are independently folding units found in multiple structural and functional contexts. Identifying domains can enable many functional and evolutionary analyses but has remained challenging because of the sheer scale of the data. Using deep learning methods, we have detected and classified every domain in the AFDB, producing The Encyclopedia of Domains. We detected nearly 365 million domains, over 100 million more than can be found by sequence methods, covering more than 1 million taxa. Reassuringly, 77% of the nonredundant domains are similar to known superfamilies, greatly expanding representation of their domain space. We uncovered more than 10,000 new structural interactions between superfamilies and thousands of new folds across the fold space continuum.
期刊介绍:
Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research.
Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated.
Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
