Or you can treat AlphaFold as a black box / oracle and work at systems biology level, i.e. at pathway and cellular level. Protein structures and interactions are always going to be hard to predict with interpretable models, which I also prefer.

My only worry is that AlphaFold and others, e.g. ESM, seem to be bit fragile for out-of-distribution sequences. They are not doing a great job with unusual sequences, at least in my experience. But hopefully they will improve and provide better uncertainty measures.
