Proteome-wide 3D structure prediction provides insights into the ancestral metabolism of ancient archaea and bacteria

Previous studies have reconstructed ancestral metabolism using sequence-based approaches. This study uses a high-throughput version of AlphaFold2 to compare proteome-wide 3D structure predictions of two representative strains of ancient archaea and bacteria.
