Before the advent of AlphaFold, homology modeling was the most common method for predicting G protein-coupled Homology modeling relies on using the known structure of a homologous protein as a template to model For proteins with low sequence similarity to available templates, homology models tend to be less accurate targeting TAAR1, more than double that of the homology models. Ligand discovery from a dopamine D3 receptor homology model and crystal structure.

ML algorithms typically use traditional ML models, such as decision trees and support vector machines While classical ML models are effective for datasets for which the relevant features are well understood which comprise handcrafted features and simpler models. For this reason, DL models generally require more computational resources (such as powerful GPUs) and Classification: AI models can be used to distinguish GPCRs from non-GPCRs, and to classify GPCRs into
