Predicting the structure of large protein complexes using AlphaFold and Monte Carlo tree search

The accuracy of AlphaFold decreases with the number of protein chains and the available GPU memory limits the size of protein complexes that can be predicted. Here, the authors show that complexes with 10–30 chains can be assembled from predicted subcomponents using Monte Carlo tree search.
