Access AlphaFold DB's 200M+ predicted structures by UniProt ID. Download PDB/mmCIF, analyze pLDDT/PAE, bulk-fetch proteomes via Google Cloud. For experimental structures use PDB; for prediction use ColabFold or ESMFold.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AlphaFold Database Access

## Overview

AlphaFold DB is a public repository of AI-predicted 3D protein structures for over 200 million proteins, maintained by DeepMind and EMBL-EBI. Access predictions via BioPython or REST API, download coordinate files in multiple formats, analyze confidence metrics, and retrieve bulk proteome datasets via Google Cloud.

## When to Use

- Retrieving AI-predicted protein structures by UniProt accession
- Downloading PDB/mmCIF coordinate files for structural analysis or docking
- Analyzing prediction confidence (pLDDT per-residue, PAE domain-level)
- Bulk-downloading entire proteome predictions via Google Cloud
- Comparing predicted structures with experimental PDB structures
- Building structural models for proteins lacking experimental data
- Identifying high-confidence binding sites for drug discovery
- For experimental structures only → use PDB directly
- For running AlphaFold predictions → use ColabFold or local AlphaFold

## Prerequisites

```bash
# Core (BioPython for structure access)
pip install biopython requests numpy matplotlib

# Optional: Google Cloud for bulk access
pip install google-cloud-bigquery google-cloud-storage
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/alphafold-database-access@sha256:6763788d70567945

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260520.7a7a671, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
