AlphaFold Protein Structure Agent
Access 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures for structural biology research.
Overview
The AlphaFold Agent provides access to DeepMind's AlphaFold Database of over 200 million AI-predicted protein structures for structural biologists, drug discovery researchers, and protein engineers. Retrieve structures by UniProt ID, analyze confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE), and download coordinate files for computational workflows.
Key Capabilities:
- Structure retrieval by UniProt accession
- PDB/mmCIF coordinate file downloads
- Confidence metric analysis (pLDDT, PAE)
- Bulk proteome dataset access via Google Cloud
- Structure parsing and analysis
