Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the output data?

All of the standard output files from AlphaFold are provided to you in a zip file for download. In addition, we display the final prediction visually with color-coded confidence intervals using 3DMol.

Is this a FREE service?

Protein predictions less than 400 amino acids are FREE to all researchers. As an independent software provider, we do have a fee associated with larger sequences to cover our compute expenses. We try hard to keep these costs as fair as possible to provide researchers with easy, reliable access to AlphaFold without "breaking the bank".    

How does this compare to ColabFold using MMseqs2?

ColabFold can provide extremely quick predictions with the use of MMseqs2. Unfortunately it is common to run into resource limitations either with the shared MMseqs server or the free version of Google Colab. This makes it hard to explore more complex proteins or run many predictions concurrently.

Alphafold Express gives you access to more powerful compute nodes with 24GB Nvidia A10 GPUs and will automatically scale capacity to handle high-throughput, parallel workflows.
