this page briefly describes a local installation of Alphafold 2.3.2 (no docker or singularity involved).

Setup

alphafold installations reside in /software/alphafold/<version>.

  • have a look at alphafold.sh and sbatch-alphafold.sh in the installation folder of a specific version
  • for alphafold >= 2.3.2 there is also a module, module load maxwell alphafold/2.3.2
  • alphafold < 2.3.2 use /beegfs/desy/group/it/ReferenceData/alphafold as databases
  • alphafold >= 2.3.2 use /beegfs/desy/group/it/ReferenceData/alphafold2.3 as databases

Examples

 see alphafold.sh, sbatch-alphafold.sh as examples.

  • for alphafold>=2.3.2 see alphafold-module.sh for an example using the module
