GTExome greatly simplifies the process of studying the three-dimensional structures of proteins containing missense mutations that are critical to understanding human health. In contrast to current state-of-the-art methods, users with no external software or specialized training can rapidly produce three-dimensional structures of any possible mutation in nearly any protein in the human exome. Accomplishing this requires reliance on AlphaFold based structural models. We therefore compared the protein models created by GTExome where possible to known experimental structures. We find that by avoiding specific mutations, the majority of proteins are amenable to being modeled by GTExome with similar results to the direct use of AlphaFold.
