OPUS-Rota4: a gradient-based protein side-chain modeling framework assisted by deep learning-based predictors.

ABSTRACT: Accurate protein side-chain modeling is crucial for protein folding and protein design. In the past decades, many successful methods have been proposed to address this issue. However, most of them depend on the discrete samples from the rotamer library, which may have limitations on their accuracies and usages. In this study, we report an open-source toolkit for protein side-chain modeling, named OPUS-Rota4. It consists of three modules: OPUS-RotaNN2, which predicts protein side-chain dihedral angles; OPUS-RotaCM, which measures the distance and orientation information between the side chain of different residue pairs and OPUS-Fold2, which applies the constraints derived from the first two modules to guide side-chain modeling. OPUS-Rota4 adopts the dihedral angles predicted by OPUS-RotaNN2
