How can I use ss2 or FASTA files as inputs for protein-folding simulation using the MARTINI course-grained model?
I asked this at Biostars but the post seems to have been deleted there.
My professor told me to implement MARTINI ForceField-based coarse-grained model to simulate 2GB1A protein-folding using Python-3....

How reliable is Alphafold 2 for folding random-coil peptide [closed]
I have a peptide X of length 50aa. Alphafold2 predicted the structure which takes a helix form and with high average pLDDT score (>90).
But during actual experiment (e.g. crystallography, ...

How can I calculate the radius of a residue? [closed]
I want to read a PDB file and display/render the atoms using a graphics engine.
If I consider each residue in the protein file as a solid sphere, what would be the radius of the sphere?
How can I ...

Protein structure prediction
I want to perform a molecular docking between several ligands and the transmembrane domain of a protein.
For this protein I only have the amino acid sequence, so it's necessary to do two things:
...

Does DeepMind's new protein folding software (AlphaFold) also work well for metalloproteins (proteins with metal cofactors)?
(1) Commonly, the metal is at the active site which needs the most prediction precision.
(2) Typically, there is only one (or a few) metals in a protein, which contains far more other atoms. So, the ...
