I don't see any reason to believe that software designed to validate crystallographic or NMR models would have any utility validating AlphaFold predicted models. Doesn't the prediction software already ensure that all the indicators used by Molprobity are obeyed? I'm afraid that the tools to validate any new technique must be designed specifically for that technique. (And when they become available they will be useless for validating crystallographic models!)

    ​Hi,


    Can anyone suggest how to validate a predicted structure? Something
    similar to wwPDB validation without the need for refinement
    statistics. I realize this is a strange question given that the
    geometry of the model is anticipated to be fine if the structure was
    predicted by a server that minimizes the geometry to improve its
    statistics. Nonetheless, the journal has asked me for such a report.
    Thanks.


    Best wishes,

    Reza
