Hello,

My name is Natasha Suwisanto. I’ve been using UCSF Chimera X and AlphaFold servers for a personal research project to mutate a GPCR protein. I just had a quick question. I was mutating a structure using the Rotamer tool on ChimeraX. I mutated a single amino acid (Tyrosine) to a Proline using the Richardson Common Atom library. However, when I ran AlphaFold on it, the predicted 'best model' structure they gave me had a different amino acid (Leucine) on the position I previously mutated the Tyrosine to the Proline. I was just wondering if I did something wrong or if AlphaFold/ChimeraX works differently than I thought.

Best,

Natasha Suwisanto
