General Usage

AlphaFold is an AI system that predicts the 3D structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence.

This module will set various environmental variables and activate a conda environment in which you can run the various AlphaFold python scripts.

Included is an abridged version of the AlphaFold database. Please contact HPC support staff at hpcc-help@umd.edu if there are additional portions of the database needed. Installed databases include: * bfd * mgnify * pdb70 * pdb_seqres * small_bfd * uniclust30 * uniprot * uniref30 * uniref90

The following environmental variables which might be useful in your scripts are defined: * ALPHAFOLD_ROOT: points to root of the AlphaFold software * ALPHAFOLD_DATABASE_DIR: points to the top of AlphaFold DB * ALPHAFOLD_DIR: points to root of the AlphaFold software * ALPHAFOLD_CONDA_ENV: points to conda environment for AlphaFold
