AlphaPulldown-a python package for protein-protein interaction screens using AlphaFold-Multimer

Bioinformatics. 2023 Jan 1;39(1):btac749. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btac749.

Abstract

Summary: The artificial intelligence-based structure prediction program AlphaFold-Multimer enabled structural modelling of protein complexes with unprecedented accuracy. Increasingly, AlphaFold-Multimer is also used to discover new protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Here, we present AlphaPulldown, a Python package that streamlines PPI screens and high-throughput modelling of higher-order oligomers using AlphaFold-Multimer. It provides a convenient command-line interface, a variety of confidence scores and a graphical analysis tool.

Availability and implementation: AlphaPulldown is freely available at https://www.embl-hamburg.de/AlphaPulldown.
