You don’t need a homology model if the amino acid sequence of interest (the query sequence) already has an empirically determined 3D structure. Structures determined empirically, by X-ray crystallography or (much less often) by solution NMR or cryo-EM, will almost always be more accurate than a homology model. | You don’t need a homology model if the amino acid sequence of interest (the query sequence) already has an empirically determined 3D structure.

If [[AlphaFold]] has predicted a model for your amino acid sequence of interest, it will often be more accurate than a homology model. | If [[AlphaFold]] has predicted a model for your amino acid sequence of interest, it will often be more accurate than a homology model, and in most cases, a homology model won't be possible due to lack of a suitable template. | ||
