ColabFold: making protein folding accessible to all

ColabFold offers accelerated prediction of protein structures and complexes by combining the fast homology search of MMseqs2 with AlphaFold2 or RoseTTAFold. Coupled with Google Colaboratory, ColabFold becomes a free and accessible platform for protein folding.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 ColabFold's 40-60-fold faster search and optimized model utilization enables prediction of close to 1,000 structures per day on a server with one graphics processing unit.
• 2 Coupled with Google Colaboratory, ColabFold becomes a free and accessible platform for protein folding.
• 3 ColabFold is open-source software available at https://github.com/sokrypton/ColabFold and its novel environmental databases are available at https://colabfold.mmseqs.com .

These innovations can translate to real-world improvements in technology, infrastructure, and everyday tools.
