AlphaFold protein structures now on SGD protein pages

November 18, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that we have now integrated AlphaFold protein structures into our protein pages! This cutting-edge addition provides detailed, high-accuracy 3D models of protein structures, offering invaluable insights into protein function and interactions. Researchers can now explore these comprehensive structural predictions directly within SGD, facilitating advanced studies in molecular biology and bioinformatics. Dive into the new AlphaFold protein structures and elevate your research with this powerful tool!

AlphaFold, developed by DeepMind, is an AI program that accurately predicts protein structures from amino acid sequences, enabling visualization of protein conformations. The predicted structures can be accessed through the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and AlphaFold Protein Structure Database.

Thanks to Kim Rutherford and Val Wood of Pombase for tips about adding AlphaFold structures to SGD.
