Evidence-backed facts

  1. The AlphaFold DB API exposes predicted protein-structure metadata and downloadable coordinate, confidence, and related files keyed by supported protein accessions. informative
  2. Public reads require no user credential and do not grant model training, database curation, protein submission, experimental, medical, or commercial endorsement authority. informative
  3. Clients must bind the supported accession, inspect model and sequence metadata, retrieve documented files, validate confidence fields, and handle absent or revised predictions. informative
  4. Predicted structures have confidence, disorder, complex, ligand, conformational, and biological-context limits and do not substitute for experimental structure or prove function or druggability. informative
