AlphaFold2 (ColabFold runner)
This skill wraps AlphaFold2 and AlphaFold2-Multimer through colabfold_batch,
which replaces DeepMind's local-database MSA pipeline with a call to the public
MMseqs2 server — so a prediction is one command and one FASTA, not a 2 TB
database mount. AF2 remains the reference monomer predictor and the multimer
model is still a strong protein–protein validator, but it does not handle
ligands or nucleic acids; for those, route to boltz, chai1, or openfold3.
The ColabFold code is MIT (github.com/sokrypton/ColabFold) and the AlphaFold2
code is Apache-2.0 (github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold); the AF2 model
parameters are CC-BY-4.0 with DeepMind's terms of use.
