Compare
How close is the prediction to experiment?
Superpose an experimental structure and AlphaFold's prediction client-side for an honest RMSD diff.
-
Pockets
Where could a drug bind?
A geometric binding-pocket finder — cavities ranked by a transparent heuristic. Geometry, not a druggability predictor.
-
Interfaces
Where do two chains touch?
Find the epitope/paratope interface of a complex from geometry. A geometric contact map, not an experimentally-mapped epitope.
-
Variants
What does this mutation change?
A phenotype → causal-gene → protein-structure explorer over well-established monogenic conditions. Not a predictor or diagnostic.
-
Junior explorer
What does a real protein look like?
The same AlphaFold content in a Grade 5–7 voice, NGSS-aligned and COPPA-safe by design.
-
ProteinQuest
Can you sort every amino acid?
A COPPA-safe amino-acid sorting game. No accounts, no outbound links, nothing collected.
-
CellTour
How is a cell built?
Guided, textbook-sourced tours of eight cell types. A small, curated starter set.
-
Nobel structures
Which structures won the Nobel?
The structural-biology Nobel Prizes as one narrative timeline, feeding the Viewer and a collection.
-
CASP, explained
How good has structure prediction become?
An honest, dated scoreboard of every CASP experiment (1994→2024) built from real published results.
-
AI in trials
Where is AI reaching the clinic?
A sourced, dated tracker of AI-in-clinical-trials milestones, with a strict no-causation posture.
-
AI-biotech capital
Where is the money moving?
Public AI-biotech capital flows, every figure cited to a primary source, with an honest coverage gauge.
-
Self-driving labs
How do closed-loop labs discover molecules?
Landmark closed-loop discovery runs, each cited to its primary paper. A small, curated starter set.
-
Research archive
What does the research say?
A reader over the Fold Commons research archive — search and read deep reports on AlphaFold and AI for biology.
-
VerbSnap
Mechanism or purpose?
Call each protein claim mechanism or purpose under a shrinking timer — spot teleology and rewrite it as honest physics.
-
PoreSort
What gets through the pore?
Predict which particles pass real channels (aquaporin-1, GLUT4, CFTR), then see the live AlphaFold structure. A pore is not a wall with a doorman.
-
RatchetRun
How does a motor really move?
Set the ATP level, predict the drift, and watch a jostled motor — a biased random walk, not a purposeful walk.
-
HingeHunt
Do you trust where the domains sit?
A model can be crisp everywhere and still be unsure how its domains are arranged. Judge the arrangement, then read the real PAE.
-
DisorderDuty
Is that floppy bit broken or working?
Low-confidence regions are usually intrinsically disordered — and doing a job. Tag each region, then see the live UniProt annotation.
-
OneLetterLottery
Does one changed letter matter?
Most changed amino acids change little; a few change everything. Draw a real variant, call its effect, and learn to calibrate.
-
TwoIslands
Firm or fuzzy — where do the domains sit?
The gentle companion to HingeHunt: two crisp domains can still have a fuzzy relative place. Paint your prior, then reveal the PAE.
-
WhatsMissing
What does the model leave out?
A single-chain model is a starting point, not the whole machine. Spot the missing cofactor or partner, checked against live UniProt.
-
FlexiFit
Rigid keyhole, or does it reshape?
Binding pockets are rarely rigid keyholes — many reshape on contact (induced fit). Predict rigid vs reshapes for real enzymes.
No tools match those filters.
