AlphaFold Databases

The AlphaFold databases, include both the full and reduced versions, are available in ${BB_APPS_DATA}/AlphaFold. Inside that folder you will find folder(s) dated by download date. Each dated folder contains all of the databases that can be downloaded with the download_all_data.sh script and was downloaded on the date as indicated by the folder name.

Running AlphaFold

For convenience a symbolic link named alphafold points to the run_alphafold.py script. So, once the AlphaFold module is loaded, you can just use alphafold instead of run_alphafold.py or python run_alphafold.py.

The run_alphafold.py script has been modified so that it is sufficient to define the $ALPHAFOLD_DATA_DIR environment variable for it to pick up all the data provided in that location. We provide several database downloads from different dates in ${BB_APPS_DATA}/AlphaFold. Select one of these centrally downloaded databases to use and add the following to your jobscript (replacing YYYYMMDD with the relevant database date):

export ALPHAFOLD_DATA_DIR=${BB_APPS_DATA}/AlphaFold/YYYYMMDD
