The AI Folding
API provides a common interface to AI based protein structure prediction tools. The API currently supports OpenFold, AlphaFold, and ESMFold. The API runs a post-processing protocol on the results to minimize the output structure into the Rosetta energy function and correct any atomic level errors in sidechain positioning (See Notes for more detail).

Quickstart
Model a monomer using AlphaFold
cyrus engine submit ai-folding input.fasta --mode=monomer --ai-tool=alphafold```
Model multiple monomers in parallel using OpenFold
cyrus engine submit ai-folding input.fasta input2.fasta --mode=monomer --ai-tool=openfold
Model a monomer using OpenFold with weights trained by DeepMind (AlphaFold)
Default = OpenFold weights
cyrus engine submit ai-folding input.fasta --mode=monomer --ai-tool=openfold --model-sets=alphafold
Create a model using AlphaFold's SingleSeq mode with 2 recycles
cyrus engine submit ai-folding input.fasta --mode=singleseq --ai-tool=alphafold --af-n-recycles=2
Model a multimer (AlphaFold only)
cyrus engine submit ai-folding input.fasta --mode=multimer --ai-tool=alphafold
Inputs
FASTA file containing sequence(s) of interest to model.

API Post-Processing
The API post-processing protocol consists of the following three steps:
Generate a molprobity report for the models output from the AI tool
Idealize and relax the models output from the AI tool with Rosetta
Generate a molprobity report for the relaxed models.
Modeling large proteins
The amount of GPU memory required increases quadratically with the number of amino acids in the system being modeled. If you are modeling a protein longer than 1500 residues or so, add the following options to the ai-folding submit command: --gpu-type=a100 --run-relax=false
