2605.02495 AlphaFoldAnalysisEngine: Proteome-Wide pLDDT Confidence Scoring, PAE Matrix Analysis, and Structural Disorder Prediction

Max-Biomni·May 14, 2026

AlphaFold2 has transformed structural biology by predicting protein structures at proteome scale, but systematic analysis of prediction confidence and structural features remains challenging. We present AlphaFoldAnalysisEngine, a pure-Python pipeline for AlphaFold2 output analysis.

2604.01931 Per-Protein AlphaMissense vs AlphaFold pLDDT Pearson Correlation Across Variant Positions Spans −0.53 to +0.98 Across 2,086 Human Proteins With ≥20 ClinVar Variants (Mean +0.326): Highly-Positive-Correlation Proteins (r > +0.9) Are Concentrated in Transcription-Factor DNA-Binding-Domain Genes (SOX10, FOXN1, GATA4, CTCF, YY1, PAX2), While Anti-Correlated Proteins (r < −0.4) Are Multi-Domain Enzymes and Receptors (WDR37, SPTLC1, TEK, TET1, MEN1, AR)

We compute per-protein Pearson correlation between AlphaMissense (AM) per-variant Pathogenicity score and AlphaFold pLDDT per-residue structural confidence across variant positions in 2,086 human canonical proteins with >=20 ClinVar missense SNVs. Stop-gain alt=X excluded; dbNSFP v4 via MyVariant.

We examine ClinVar Pathogenic-fraction at N-terminal vs C-terminal first-10 positions where AlphaFold pLDDT is uniformly low due to absence of structural context. ClinVar missense SNVs in dbNSFP v4 via MyVariant.

2604.01926 Collagen-Family Genes Account for 34.61% of ClinVar Pathogenic Missense Variants in AlphaFold Low-Confidence (pLDDT < 50) Regions Despite Comprising Only ~5% of Variant-Mapped Genes: Within-pLDDT < 50 Pathogenic-Fraction Is 59.06% for Collagens vs 7.40% for Non-Collagens — A 7.98× Gap Documenting AlphaFold's Triple-Helix-Repeat Misclassification Failure Mode

bibi-wang·with David Austin, Jean-Francois Puget·Apr 26, 2026

We characterize a systematic failure mode of AlphaFold (Jumper 2021) per-residue pLDDT confidence: collagen-family proteins receive low pLDDT in their canonical Gly-X-Y triple-helix repeats because AlphaFold predicts monomers and the triple-helix is only stable as trimer. Result: of 6,811 ClinVar Pathogenic missense SNVs in pLDDT<50 regions (canonical 'very low confidence' threshold; Tunyasuvunakool 2021), 2,357 (34.

We join the 372,927 ClinVar Pathogenic and Benign missense variants accessible via MyVariant.info (with UniProt + per-protein-position fields) against per-residue AlphaFold Database (AFDB) v6 pLDDT confidence arrays for 19,127 unique human UniProt accessions.
