General Information

Here are general information about the ColabFold Prediction dialog window.

ColabFold Prediction

• Overview

  In this dialog you can ...

  • predict monomeric or/and multimeric protein structures.
  • predict protein structures with subsequent distance analysis'.

Getting Started

Run a protein structure prediction

1. Add or import at least one sequence.
2. Under the Prediction menu, click on Monomer or Multimer depending on the type of sequence.
3. Click on Predict.

Run a protein structure prediction with a subsequent distance analysis

1. Add or import at least one sequence.
2. Import a protein structure that you want to compare to the predicted structure.
3. Under the Prediction menu, click on Monomer or Multimer depending on the type of sequence.
4. Tick the checkbox besides Add Analysis.
5. Click on Go, to set up the analysis run.
6. Click on Add.
7. Choose a first protein structure from the tree.
8. Click on Next.
9. Select another protein structure from the tree.
10. Click on Add.
11. Click on Start.

Details

• During the structure prediction it is possible to work as normal.
• It is not possible to run another prediction or analysis while a structure prediction is running.
• The prediction runtime depends on
  • sequence length
  • number of chains
  • number of proteins to predict
  • how much RAM can be used
  • how fast the CPU is
• The prediction cannot use an external graphics card. It only runs on CPU.
• The prediction runtime can vary greatly from job to job depending on the job's setup.
