Predict protein 3D structures with AlphaFold2 via ColabFold — MMseqs2-accelerated MSAs, monomer and AlphaFold2-Multimer complex folding, and confidence-based validation (pLDDT, pTM/ipTM, PAE). Use when folding a protein sequence or complex from FASTA, generating a predicted structure with confidence metrics, ranking models, or checking self-consistency of a design. For co-folding a protein WITH a small-molecule ligand or predicting binding affinity prefer alterlab-boltz; for antibody–antigen or one-FASTA multi-entity complexes prefer alterlab-chai; to LOOK UP an already-computed structure pref
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 76 stars are split between them (about 8 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 55/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit e4836c08a20d, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
