About

Proteins are important gears of life and in order to understand the functions of proteins at a molecular level, it is necessary to determine its 3D structure which enables researchers to get an insight into its function and their role, or more, specific spatial conformations to perform its biological function, driven by a number of noncovalent interactions. AlphaFold is an artificial intelligence (AI) system, industrialized by Google DeepMind, that predicts a protein’s 3D structure based on its primary amino acid sequence. It regularly achieves accuracy competitive with experimental results.

Aim

This program aimed at researchers who are attentive in using AlphaFold2 to predict protein structures and integrate these predictions into their ventures.

Program Objectives

To provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts behind AlphaFold2.
To evaluate predicted structures from AlphaFold2 by integrating the different confidence metrics
