(Fig.1) AI's predicted proteins or RNAs always contain more than 80% wrong structures.
The 9th, 11th, last paragraphs of this hyped news (9/16/2025) say
"ProRNA3D-single (= this new AI tool ) can generate 3D structural models of viral RNA interacting with proteins" ← fake news
"Even recent breakthrough AI models developed by Google DeepMind and others have fallen far short of accurately predicting and modeling protein-RNA complex 3D structures," ← AI, Alphafold are useless.
"We should constantly remind ourselves the problem is far from being solved" ← This new AI tool is also useless for drug discovery ( this-3rd-paragraph ).

p.8-2nd-paragraph says "To train our new method, ProRNA3D-single, we collect X-ray crystal structures of protein-RNA complexes having resolution up to 3.5 Å (= non-atomic bad resolution or wrong structures were used as their training datasets ) that are deposited to the PDB"
p.8-3rd-paragraph says "Using protein-RNA complexes published more recently than any training- and validation-set targets.. resulting in a total of 39 protein-RNA complexes for the test set," ← Recently-obtained experimental protein-RNA structures were used for the test.
p.9-2nd-paragraph says "The fnat scores lie in range of [ 0-1 ], and the higher score represents better accuracy of the predicted complex structural model (= fnat score closer to 1 is more accurate, this-p.6-2nd-last-paragraph )"
p.10-1st-paragraph says "ProRNA3D-single attains the best fnat scores compared to the state-of-the-art methods, attaining 41.03% successful prediction having fnat > 0.2, which is 25.64%, 25.64%, and 17.95% higher than RF2NA, RF2AA, and AF3 (= Alphafold-3 ), respectively, where a prediction is considered "successful" if the predicted structural model has fnat>0.2"
↑ This new AI tool called ProRNA3D gave only wrong protein-RNA structures whose more than 80% structures (= fnat score 0.2 between 0 and 1 = 1 is accurate ) were wrong.
↑ Alphafold-3 (= AF3 ) gave worse results where about 80% of its predicted structures contained more than 80% wrong protein or RNA structures.
Alphafold-3 (= AF-3 ) also cannot give right structures (= fnat score < 1 ) even of proteins ( this-p.1 ).
As a result, today's AI tools cannot predict accurate structures of proteins nor RNAs, so drug discovery is impossible due to today's bad experimental datasets, just spawning overhyped fake news.
