Panel Discussion: Applying Structural Biology Insights to Improve Functional Prediction & Translational Success in Protein Design

2:10 pm - Thursday 12th November 2026

  • Assessing the limitations of structure prediction methods such as AlphaFold and exploring how moving beyond static models to dynamic systems can improve protein design outcomes
  • Examining how cryo-EM data and co-folding models can be combined to enhance prediction of multi-component interactions in complex biologics
  • Understanding what drives the gap between structural accuracy and functional performance, and how to better translate in silico designs into biological activity
