Does AlphaFold2 model proteins’ intracellular conformations? An experimental test using cross-linking mass spectrometry of endogenous ciliary proteins

Abstract A major goal in structural biology is to understand protein assemblies in their biologically relevant states. Here, we investigate whether AlphaFold2 structure predictions match native protein conformations. We chemically cross-linked proteins in situ within intact Tetrahymena thermophila c...
