In the paragraph 2 of section 4.3.2 of the AlphaFold3 supplementary materials, the variable$\Phi_i = (a_i, b_i, c_i)$ explicitly refers to the coordinates of the frame atoms, not the rotation matrix as previously implemented.
The prior implementation mistakenly calculated the rotation matrix for the frames based on the atom coordinates and then incorrectly set$\Phi_i$ to this rotation matrix. This led to a misalignment between the expected coordinates and the rotation matrix used during the alignment error computation.
The bug has been fixed by correctly assigning$\Phi_i$ as the coordinates of the frame atoms. Specifically:
This fix ensures that the computed alignment error accurately reflects the comparison of atom positions as described in the AlphaFold3 documentation.
