[chimerax-users] AlphaFold best_model.pdb could not visually overlap the input sequence using matchmaker

[Tristan Croll]

... huh. Looking at it again, it seems to me that AlphaFold has predicted
the antibody heavy chain in the light chain conformation and vice versa. If
you force it to align (predicted heavy) to (experimental light) with "match
#2/D to #1/H" then all four antibody domains align reasonably well. Seems
like a failure on AlphaFold's part (and one I haven't seen before).
