Is it possible to use a known structure (in pdb format) for feature generation and interactions prediction #12

I am trying to model interactions with proteins for which the structures are already known (either crystal structures are solved or they have Alphafold predicted structures on Uniprot). Is there a way to just use these pdb files for interactions prediction rather than generating features from basic sequences?

You may use PDB structures as templates as part of input features. But the prediction requires sequence input features as well.

Oh that sounds good. Thank you for the quick reply!
