Fig. 1: Comparison of details of AlphaFold predictions with density maps.

a–h, AlphaFold predictions are shown in magenta with selected residues labeled (a–d); deposited models are shown in blue (e–h). Experimental electron density maps were taken from our previous work³¹ and are contoured at 1.9 σ (a, e), 1.1 σ (b, f), 1.5 σ (c, g) and 1.2 σ (d, h). Model coloring is bright for parts of the models outside the density contours and dimmed for parts that are inside the contours. a,e, PDB entry 7waa showing a region with high-accuracy prediction. b,f, PDB entry 7s5L showing a region with incorrect prediction. c,g, PDB entry 7t26 showing a prediction that does not match the density map, but where the density map is not fully clear. d,h, PDB entry 7naz showing a prediction that is distorted relative to the density map.
