SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenFold3 provides a GPU-accelerated, open-source path to predict biomolecular structures, including proteins, DNA, RNA, and ligands, enabling researchers to generate high-confidence models from sequence data quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Docker-based deployment: Run on NVIDIA DGX Spark (Grace Blackwell) with pre-compiled Triton kernels for fast startup.
  • Multi-format inputs: Supports proteins, DNA, RNA, ligand complexes, and biomolecular assemblies.
  • Batch and complex predictions: Generate multiple models and complex assemblies in a single workflow.
  • Use Case: A structural biology team can run a batch of protein complexes to compare binding interfaces using the provided Docker image.

Quick Start

Use the OpenFold3 Docker image to run help and basic prediction commands. For example: docker run --rm --gpus all --ipc=host --shm-size=64g
ghcr.io/open-prophetdb/openfold3:arm64-blackwell
run_openfold --help

docker run --rm --gpus all --ipc=host --shm-size=64g
ghcr.io/open-prophetdb/openfold3:arm64-blackwell
run_openfold predict --help

FAQPage Schema
How do I predict biomolecular complex structures using a GPU and Docker?

To predict biomolecular complex structures, you can deploy the OpenFold3 Docker image with GPU access. It requires passing `--gpus all` and configuring shared memory using `--ipc=host --shm-size=64g` to execute the `run_openfold predict` command.

What types of biomolecular structures can I predict using OpenFold3?

You can predict proteins, DNA, RNA, and ligands, including complex biomolecular assemblies. The tool supports multi-format inputs to generate high-confidence structural models from sequence data.

Does OpenFold3 work with NVIDIA DGX Spark on ARM64 architecture?

Yes, OpenFold3 targets NVIDIA DGX Spark (Grace Blackwell) on ARM64. It provides a specific Docker image with pre-compiled Triton kernels for fast startup and GPU-accelerated structure prediction.

Do I need specific shared memory settings to run OpenFold3 in Docker?

Yes, running OpenFold3 in Docker requires configuring shared memory with `--ipc=host --shm-size=64g`. This configuration is necessary for the Docker container to operate correctly during GPU-accelerated predictions.

How do I run batch predictions for protein complexes in OpenFold3?

You can run batch predictions for protein complexes to compare binding interfaces using the provided Docker image. This allows generating multiple models and complex assemblies within a single workflow.

Why use an open-source AlphaFold3 implementation for structure prediction?

An open-source AlphaFold3 implementation provides a GPU-accelerated path to predict biomolecular structures quickly. It enables research teams to generate high-confidence models from sequence data without proprietary constraints.
