HI DR,
I lost your mail but not your replayed data 
Thank you very much for your quick responses and for your efforts in analyzing our cell-cell adhesion protein, gp64.
As I am a beginner in this field, I might not always be able to reply to you quickly. However, I will get back to you with more questions soon.
thak you again

Hiroshi

Dear Dr,

 I forgot to add the comment that the protein forms dimer on the SDS-PAGE.

Dear DR.
Thank you for using chimeraX. I am very impressed with the development of protein assembly analysis technology. I am an elderly (88-year-old) biochemist.
　I have a question.
○1. Even if dimer formation is analyzed by AlphaFold 3, dimers with interfaces are not recognized at all (AlphaFold has a list of 19(?) analyzed). Why?
○2. Even though dimer formation (54 or 132 interface residues) can be seen by chimeraX, when looking at ipTM with AlphaFold, a number such as 0.19 is not recognized as a dimer. Do you think that this is because AlphaFold does not take into account that proteins such as GPI membrane proteins are kept in anti-parallel, do you have an opinion?
With best Regards
