Running Alphafold2 on the serverless platform RunPod

Introduction Alphafold2 AlphaFold2 ( AF2 ) is a deep learning-based system developed by DeepMind to predict the 3D structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences. The algorithm uses Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) to determine the interactions between distant amino acids and infer the protein’s 3D structure ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03819-2 ) . The MSA information is paired with […]
