alterlab-alphafold
From the author
Predict 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. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-boltzAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsCo-fold biomolecular complexes with Boltz-2, an open AlphaFold3-style model — predict protein + ligand (SMILES/CCD), protein + nucleic-acid, and multi-chain structures in one pass, with binding-affinity prediction. Use when folding a protein together with a small-molecule ligand, predicting a holo (ligand-bound) complex or its binding affinity, or co-folding protein–DNA/RNA assemblies. For protein-only or protein–protein folding without ligands prefer alterlab-alphafold; for antibody–antigen complexes prefer alterlab-chai; to dock a ligand into a FIXED receptor structure prefer alterlab-diffdock; to look up an existing structure prefer alterlab-pdb.

- alterlab-chaiAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsPredict biomolecular complexes with Chai-1, an open AlphaFold3-style model that folds multi-entity assemblies (proteins, ligands, nucleic acids) from a single typed FASTA — strong on antibody–antigen and protein–ligand complexes, with optional MSA and restraint inputs. Use when predicting an antibody–antigen complex, folding a mixed protein/ligand/nucleic-acid assembly described in one FASTA, or generating a complex with experimental restraints. For binding-affinity prediction or a ligand-focused co-fold prefer alterlab-boltz; for protein-only or protein–protein folding prefer alterlab-alphafold; to dock into a fixed receptor prefer alterlab-diffdock.

- alphafoldadaptyvbio/protein-design-skillsValidate protein designs using AlphaFold2 structure prediction. Use this skill when: (1) Validating designed sequences fold correctly, (2) Predicting binder-target complex structures, (3) Calculating confidence metrics (pLDDT, pTM, ipTM), (4) Self-consistency validation of designs, (5) Multi-chain complex prediction with AlphaFold-Multimer. For faster single-chain prediction, use esm. For QC thresholds, use protein-qc.Science★ 170

Reach for this skill to fold a sequence or complex with the AF2/AF2-Multimer evoformer, to validate designed sequences by self-consistency pLDDT, ipTM, and RMSD, or to run a quick MSA-backed prediction using the public MMseqs2 server.Science★ 5.4K

- 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.
