AlphaFold database (AlphaFold DB) provides open access to over 200 million protein structure predictions to accelerate scientific research. This webinar aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to AlphaFold DB. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles, and functionalities of the database. They will learn how to access and evaluate predicted protein structures, explore the underlying technologies and algorithms used in AlphaFold, and identify the potential applications of AlphaFold DB in their research
Who is this course for?
This webinar is suitable for laboratory scientists and bioinformaticians with no background of structural biology. However, basic knowledge of protein structure and function would be useful
This event is part of a webinar series - Molecular building blocks of life - showcasing the EMBL-EBI resources that provide data and tools for studying molecular building blocks of life at molecular level such as metabolites, DNA/RNA, proteins, and at systems level such as cells. Check out other webinars in this series.
Please note that we are not able to provide certificates of attendance for our webinars.
Outcomes
By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
- Navigate the AlphaFold DB website
- Discuss the AlphaFold algorithm
- Access and interpret predicted structures from AlphaFold Database
