*/AlphaFold DB: Increasing the structure coverage of the sequence space
by a thousand times/*
I will give a brief introduction about why (predicted) protein
structures can be useful, and then talk briefly about how the protein
structure prediction field grew over the years. I will also talk about
AlphaFold, its strengths and weaknesses, and explain the various types
of output coming from the AI, in particular about the various confidence
measures. Then I'll talk about the database (what types of data, what
technology, how to access the data) and then briefly about the place of
AlphaFold DB in the wider context of other predicted protein structure
providers and initiatives such as the 3D-Beacons.
