Initially, AlphaFold and ColabFold performed best with '''single chains'''<ref name="complexes">[https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.04.463034v1 Protein complex prediction with AlphaFold-Multimer], 2021, Evans ''et al.''

If you are interested in complexes or alternate conformations, please see ColabFold instructions in the 2023 paper by Kim ''et al.'' <ref name="kim2023">[https://protocolexchange.researchsquare.com/article/pex-2490/v1 Easy and accurate protein structure prediction using ColabFold], 2023, Kim ''et al.''
