Abstract

MOTIVATION: Due to the breakthrough in protein structure prediction by AlphaFold, the scientific community has access to 200 million predicted protein structures with near-atomic accuracy from the AlphaFold protein structure DataBase (AFDB), covering nearly the entire protein universe. Segmenting these models into domains and classifying them into an evolutionary hierarchy hold tremendous potential for unraveling essential insights into protein function.
