alterlab-esm
From the author
Run ESM protein language models — ESMC for embeddings and representations, ESMFold2 for structure prediction, and ESM3 for generative multimodal protein design across sequence, structure, and function — locally or through the hosted Biohub Platform API (formerly Forge). Use when working with protein sequences, structures, or function prediction, designing novel proteins, generating protein embeddings, performing inverse folding, or doing protein-engineering tasks. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- esmK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsUses the Biohub esm Python SDK for ESM3 protein generation, ESMC embeddings, and ESMFold2 all-atom folding. Applies to local model inference and Biohub hosted clients, including former Forge workflows; distinguishes the separate legacy fair-esm distribution.Science★ 54.4K
- esm-protein-language-modeljaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsProtein language models (ESM3, ESM C) for sequence generation, structure prediction, inverse folding, and embeddings. Design novel proteins, extract ML features, or fold sequences. Local GPU or EvolutionaryScale Forge API. Use AlphaFold for traditional folding; RDKit for small molecules.Science★ 382
- esmfold2aipoch/open-scienceBiohub ESMFold2 / ESMFold2-Fast all-atom co-folding (Candido et al. 2026, github.com/Biohub/esm). Single-sequence and MSA modes; protein, DNA, RNA, ligand (CCD/SMILES), modified residues. FoldBench Ab-Ag 50-55%, PPI 70-77% DockQ-pass. Also covers the ESMC-{300M,600M,6B} protein language models from the same release: masked-LM logits, hidden states, mutation scoring, contact prediction, and the SAE interpretability head. MIT-licensed weights on HuggingFace org `biohub`. Use this skill when: (1) Predicting complex structures with single-sequence input, (2) Validating designed binders with ESMFold2-Fast, (3) Running ESMFold2 with MSA input, (4) Getting ESMC embeddings or per-residue mutation scores, (5) Choosing kernel backend and sampling-step settings for paper-faithful throughput.Science★ 5.4K
- alterlab-alphafoldAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsPredict protein 3D structures with AlphaFold2 via ColabFold — MMseqs2-accelerated MSAs, monomer and AlphaFold2-Multimer complex folding, and confidence-based validation (pLDDT, pTM/ipTM, PAE). Use when folding a protein sequence or complex from FASTA, generating a predicted structure with confidence metrics, ranking models, or checking self-consistency of a design. For co-folding a protein WITH a small-molecule ligand or predicting binding affinity prefer alterlab-boltz; for antibody–antigen or one-FASTA multi-entity complexes prefer alterlab-chai; to LOOK UP an already-computed structure prefer alterlab-alphafold-db; for ESM embeddings or inverse folding prefer alterlab-esm.

- alterlab-proteinmpnnAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsDesign protein sequences for a fixed backbone with ProteinMPNN (Dauparas 2022) — message-passing inverse folding that outputs sequences predicted to fold to a given structure, with fixed positions, tied/symmetric chains, amino-acid bias, and a soluble-model variant. Use when inverse-folding a backbone PDB into sequences, redesigning selected positions, imposing symmetry across chains, or generating the sequence step of a design→fold→score loop. For pocket/interface design WITH a bound ligand, metal, or nucleic acid prefer alterlab-ligandmpnn; to GENERATE a new backbone prefer alterlab-rfdiffusion; to refold and validate a design prefer alterlab-alphafold; for generative multimodal design prefer alterlab-esm.
