AlphaFold was published in July, 2021<ref name="af2021">PMID: 34265844</ref>. Methods were described in considerable detail. The source code, trained weights, and inference script were made available under an '''open-source license'''. Structure prediction required about one GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) minute per model of about 384 amino acids.
