===ORF8 Sidechain Accuracy===
===ORF8 Sidechain Accuracy===
Table I gives RMSD values for all atoms, which is one indication of sidechain accuracy. Another is prediction of [[salt bridges]] and [[cation-pi interactions]]. As detailed in Tables II and III:
AlphaFold2's predictions for sidechain positions seem fairly good, while sidechain positions in the 2nd best prediction seem poor. This conclusion is based on three types of observations:
#Table I gives RMSD values for all atoms, which is one indication of sidechain accuracy.
#Prediction of [[salt bridges]] and [[cation-pi interactions]].
#Visualization of the distributions of charges on the surfaces.

*AlphaFold2's prediction was '''correct for 4/5''' interactions, with '''one incorrect''' interaction.
