FAQPage Schema
How do I predict protein structures using AlphaFold 2/3 and Boltz-1?

You can predict protein structures by inputting protein sequences, generating Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA), and running AlphaFold 2/3 or Boltz-1 models to output accurate structural predictions for research workflows.

How do I generate Multiple Sequence Alignments for protein structure prediction?

Generate Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA) using MMseqs2 or HHblits to provide the evolutionary context required for accurate structure prediction with AlphaFold 2/3 and Boltz-1.

How do I analyze AlphaFold pLDDT and PAE confidence scores?

Analyze predicted structure confidence using pLDDT and PAE scores to evaluate local and global accuracy, which is critical for validating protein structures in drug discovery workflows.

Can I predict multimeric protein structures with Boltz-1 and AlphaFold 3?

Yes, you can predict multimeric protein structures to model protein-protein interactions using AlphaFold 2/3 and Boltz-1, enabling analysis of complex biological assemblies.

Do I need to install AlphaFold 3 and Boltz-1 to predict protein structures?

Yes, AlphaFold 2/3, Boltz-1, MMseqs2, HHblits, and py3Dmol are required dependencies to execute the MSA generation, structure prediction, and structural visualization processes.

How do I query the AlphaFold Database for existing protein structures?

Query the AlphaFold Database to retrieve existing protein structures, bypassing the de novo prediction process and saving computational resources when structures are already available.
