System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
It helps users identify structurally similar proteins by searching a provided 3D protein coordinate file against Foldseek databases, avoiding unreliable or impossible sequence-only searches.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 3D-only structural homology search: Accepts only physical structure files with .cif, .mmcif, or .pdb extensions and halts if the input is sequence or ID-based.
- Validated database querying: Searches only an allowlisted set of Foldseek databases (e.g., afdb50, pdb100, cath50) and stops for unsupported database requests.
- Actionable results for interpretation: Produces a human-readable Markdown table for quick review plus a full JSON output for deeper follow-up analysis.
Quick Start
Use the foldseek-structural-search skill to submit your .pdb/.cif/.mmcif structure file and return the top structural matches with key alignment metrics in a Markdown results file.
