Predicted protein structures at AlphaFold DB
AlphaFold database (AlphaFold DB) provides open access to over 200 million protein structure predictions to accelerate scientific research.
This webinar with Paulyna Magana (Alphafold DB Bioinformatician, EMBL-EBI), recorded on 11 October 2023, provides a comprehensive introduction to AlphaFold DB. You will gain a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles, and functionalities of the database. You will also learn how to access and evaluate predicted protein structures, explore the underlying technologies and algorithms used in AlphaFold, and identify the potential applications of AlphaFold DB in their research.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this video you will be able to:
- Navigate the AlphaFold DB website
- Discuss the AlphaFold algorithm
- Access and interpret predicted structures from AlphaFold Database
Proteins seldom operate in isolation, instead, they often associate with other proteins, nucleic acids, or other small molecules to fulfil their functions. In the upcoming section, you will delve into the Complex Portal, an EMBL-EBI resource offering a compilation of macromolecular complexes sourced from significant model organisms.
