alphafold-database
Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. Retrieve structures by UniProt ID, download PDB/mmCIF files, analyze confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE), for drug discovery and structural biology.
npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill alphafold-database --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# AlphaFold Database ## Overview AlphaFold DB is a public repository of AI-predicted 3D protein structures for over 200 million proteins, maintained by DeepMind and EMBL-EBI. Access structure predictions with confidence metrics, download coordinate files, retrieve bulk datasets, and integrate predictions into computational workflows. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when working with AI-predicted protein structures in scenarios such as: - Retrieving protein structure predictions by UniProt ID or protein name - Downloading PDB/mmCIF coordinate files for structural analysis - Analyzing prediction confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE) to assess reliability - Accessing bulk proteome datasets via Google Cloud Platform - Comparing predicted structures with experimental data - Performing structure-based drug discovery or protein engineering - Building structural models for proteins lacking experimental structures - Integrating AlphaFold predictions into computational pipelines ## Core Capabilities ### 1. Searching and Retrieving Predictions **Using Biopython (Recommended):** The Biopython library provides the simplest interface for retrieving AlphaFold structures: ```python f

What does the alphafold-database skill do?
Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. Retrieve structures by UniProt ID, download PDB/mmCIF files, analyze confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE), for drug discovery and structural biology.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill alphafold-database --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
