Popis: Protein loop modeling is the most challenging yet highly non-trivial task in protein structure prediction. Despite recent progress, existing methods including knowledge-based, ab initio, hybrid and deep learning (DL) methods fall significantly short of either atomic accuracy or computational efficiency. Moreover, an overarching focus on backbone atoms has resulted in a dearth of attention given to side-chain conformation, a critical aspect in a host of downstream applications including ligand docking, molecular dynamics simulation and drug design. To overcome these limitations, we present KarmaLoop, a novel paradigm that distinguishes itself as the first DL method centered on full-atom (encompassing both backbone and side-chain heavy atoms) protein loop modeling. Our results demonstrate that KarmaLoop considerably outperforms conventional and DL-based methods of loop modeling in terms of both accuracy and efficiency, with the average RMSD improved by over two-fold compared to the second-best baseline method across different tasks, and manifests at least two orders of magnitude speedup in general. Consequently, our comprehensive evaluations indicate that KarmaLoop provides a state-of-the-art DL solution for protein loop modeling, with the potential to hasten the advancement of protein engineering, antibody-antigen recognition, and drug design.
