Cutting-edge tools for structural biology: bringing AlphaFold to the people.

Journal: Trends in microbiology
Published Date: May 3, 2025

Abstract

The recent application of artificial intelligence-based prediction of protein and protein complex structures by AlphaFold has revolutionized biology. Here, we give an overview of the tools that make this revolution accessible to experimental microbiologists without training in bioinformatics or sophisticated computer equipment, and show how this helps to gain new insights.
