Hello towards the above topic, I successfully loop-modeled a transmembrane heptamer protein (426-residues per monomer) exhibiting 7-extracellular loops each missing 11-residues via MODELLER via constraining the already known structural residues (I had input the entire heptamer despite possible interface of multiple subunit problems due to failing to loop-model it as a monomer which would preclude loop-to-loop modeling interference).
My inquiry, does AlphaFold have the ability to similarly loop model constraining the known residues via structural input(s) and if so would there be two modeling options to input the monomer and also the heptamer as I did via MODELLER for comparison or if one is best which i.e. Alphafold2 of Alphafold Multimer? (Can Alphafold Multimer model 426 residues times 7 monomers or is this capacity too large?)
(Maybe in this case the only option would be to use Alphafold Multimer via sequence input and then extract the modeled loops.) Thanks if you know:), Joel 🚀
