AlphaFold Database

--- name: alphafold-database description: "Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. Retrieve structures by UniProt ID, download PDB/mmCIF files, analyze confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE), for drug discovery and structural biology." --- # AlphaFold Database ## Overview AlphaFold DB is a public repository of AI-predicted 3D protein structures for over 200 million proteins, maintained by DeepMind and EMBL-EBI. Access structure predictions with confidence metrics, download coordinate files, retrieve bulk datasets, and integrate predictions into computational workflows. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when working with AI-predicted protein structures in scenarios such as: - Retrieving protein structure predictions by UniProt ID or protein name - Downloading PDB/mmCIF coordinate files for structural analysis - Analyzing prediction confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE) to assess reliability - Accessing bulk proteome datasets via Google Cloud Platform - Compa
