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.
