In 2020, the AlphaFold project of Google's DeepMind team demonstrated a major breakthrough in predicting protein structure from sequence. Their success in the blind CASP competition astonished many experts. For an overview, see Theoretical models.
In July, 2021, DeepMind released AlphaFold as open source code. Subsequently, several Colabs became available offering free structure prediction for user-submitted protein sequences. These Google Colabs (collaboratories)[1]. enable users to submit sequences via web browser, executing the code in the Google cloud, using space private to each user, returning predicted structures.
Below are instructions for beginners who wish to predict structures.
