Abstract

MOTIVATION: The advent of AlphaFold and other protein Artificial Intelligence (AI) models has transformed protein design, necessitating efficient handling of large-scale data and complex workflows. Using existing programming packages that predate recent AI advancements often leads to inefficiencies in human coding and slow code execution. To address this gap, we developed the Afpdb package.
