alphafold-database-fetch-and-analyze

Agent skill fromgoogle-deepmind/science-skills

Retrieve and analyze AlphaFold predicted structures for a protein. Use when the user provides a specific UniProt Accession ID and wants structural confidence metrics (pLDDT), domain boundary analysis, or disorder assessment. Do not use if the user only has a protein name, gene name, or amino acid sequence — ask for a UniProt ID first.

3## Prerequisites
4
51. **`uv`**: Read the `uv` skill and follow its Setup instructions to ensure
6 `uv` is installed and on PATH.
72. **User Notification**: If
8 .licenses/alphafold_database_fetch_and_analyze_LICENSE.txt does not already
9 exist in the workspace root directory then (1) prominently notify the user
10 to check the terms at https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/, then (2) create the file
11 recording the notification text and timestamp.

13## Overview
14
15Downloads AlphaFold predicted structures (mmCIF) and Predicted Aligned Error
16(PAE) matrices from the AlphaFold Database for a given UniProt ID, then performs
17automated heuristic analysis on structural confidence (pLDDT), intrinsically
18disordered regions, rigid domain boundaries, and inter-domain flexibility.
19
20**Do NOT use when:**
21
22- The user only has a protein name, gene name, or amino acid sequence (no
23 UniProt ID) — ask them to look up the ID on
24 [UniProt](https://www.uniprot.org).
25- The user wants to search for structural homologs (use **Foldseek**).
26- The user wants to run AlphaFold predictions on a custom sequence.
27- The user needs experimental PDB structures (use **RCSB PDB**).
28
29## Core Rules
30
31- **Use the Wrapper**: ALWAYS execute the provided helper scripts to query the
32 database rather than accessing the database directly. The scripts
33 automatically enforce the required rate limit gracefully.
