Cutting-edge tools for structural biology: bringing AlphaFold to the people
Christoph Elfmann, Jörg Stülke
Abstract
The recent application of artificial intelligence-based prediction of protein and protein complex structures by AlphaFold has revolutionized biology. Here, we give an overview of the tools that make this revolution accessible to experimental microbiologists without training in bioinformatics or sophisticated computer equipment, and show how this helps to gain new insights.
