ActSeek: fast and accurate search algorithm of active sites in alphafold database.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
motivationFinding proteins with specific functions by mining modern databases can potentially lead to substantial advancements in wide range of fields, from medicine and biotechnology to material science. Currently available algorithms enable mining of proteins based on their sequence or structure. However, activities of many proteins, such as enzymes and drug targets, are dictated by active site residues and their surroundings rather than the overall structure or sequence of a protein.
resultsWe introduce ActSeek-a computer vision-inspired fast program-that searches structural databases for proteins with active sites similar to the seed protein. ActSeek is implemented to mine proteins with desired active site environments from the Alphafold database. The potential of ActSeek to find innovative solutions to the world's most pressing challenges is demonstrated by finding enzymes that may be used to produce biodegradable plastics or degrade plastics, as well as potential off-targets for common drug molecules.
