PymolFold

Fold your protein in PyMOL!
Inspired by ColabFold by Sergey O.
Visualization inspired by pymol-color-alphafold.
Thanks to ESMFold by Meta and the API.
Fast access to AlphaMissense predicted Human proteins provided by hegelab.

Info
The PymolFold service is running on a A5000 instance (cost $100 a week), and the sequence length is limited to 1000aa.

Issues and Errors

PymolFold Server: A Shared Resource
Please note that the PymolFold server is a shared resource, and I request you to use it responsibly. Do not abuse the server, as it can affect the availability and performance of the service for other users.

18Jul2024: Add `fetch_af` to fetch AlphaFold predicted proteins in AlphaFold Database using UniProt ID. Deprecate `dms`, `singlemut`, `cpd`, and `webapp`.
10Jan2024: Add `predict_pocket` to predict ligand binding pocket of protein.
03Nov2023: Add `fetch_am` for AlphaMissense predicted Human proteins.
20Sep2023: Add `fold_batch`, a command line tool.
21Aug2023: As the ESMFold API is not stable, the job will be sent to PymolFold server if the job failed.
11Apr2023: `pf_plugin.py` is the PyMOL plugin and the `pf_pkg.py` is a pymol-free python package.
03Dec2022: Add `dms`, `singlemut`, and `webapps`. `pymolfold` allow sequence length up to 700aa.
26Nov2022: ProteinMPNN is now integrated to design proteins.
15Nov2022: I now provide an unofficial API to support user defined recycle number and allow sequence length up to 500aa!

Install pymol-open-source

conda install -c conda-forge pymol-open-source

Usage

Load extension into PyMOL. In the PyMOL command prompt

run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JinyuanSun/PymolFold/main/pf_plugin.py
# for user still using python2, it is also py3 compatible, only esmfold supports.
run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JinyuanSun/PymolFold/py27/predict_structure.py
# try the command below in China mainland, the mirror will be delayed if modifications were just made, download the file to your computer and install it is always a good idea:
run https://raw.staticdn.net/JinyuanSun/PymolFold/main/pf_plugin.py

Other scripts:

run https://alphamissense.hegelab.org/coloram.py

Fold your protein

Also, check META's web app

The color_plddt command also returns pymol selection object of different confidence levels. The color scheme is now compatible with plddt in range (0, 1) and (0, 100) only if they are consistent in your selection.

The Meta API (up to 400 aa)
