Highlighted illustration

Cover illustration: TomoCPT is a transformer-based solution that reformulates particle detection in cryo-ET as a centroid-prediction task using Gaussian labels. Heatmaps of predicted labels using Gaussian and binary labels are shown [Shah et al. (2025), Acta Cryst. D81, 63–76].

This article presents a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of AlphaFold3 in predicting 3D structures of RNA, highlighting its limitations and comparing it with ten state-of-the-art methods. Our findings, based on benchmarks from five test sets, offer valuable insights into the challenges of RNA structure prediction.
