The mentions of "Runtime -> Run after" refer to the Runtime pull-down menu at the very top of the page. Getting a result may take several hours. | ||
===Current offerings via Colab=== | |||
Work is ongoing and other offerings have on Colab are now available, for RoseTTAFold and AlphaFold 2 Colab beside the ones detailed above. This summary guide & video should help in choosing how to analyze your proteins of interest: | |||
- [http://github.com/sokrypton/ColabFold#making-protein-folding-accessible-to-all-via-google-colab A Guide to the free RoseTTAFold and AlphaFold 2 Colab notebooks] | |||
- A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfw7thgGTwI video covering an overview, comparison of some of the methods and how people are already extending them, how to submit and interpret, and a tutorial on how to use AlphaFold2 Colab] is available. The video was recorded on August 4th, 2021 presented by Sergey Ovchinnikov and Martin Steinegger, hosted by Chris Bahl for the Boston Protein Design and Modeling Club | |||
