    # AlphaFold
    
    [AlphaFold][1] is an AI program designed as a deep learning system
    developed by DeepMind, a subsidiary of Alphabet,
    which performs predictions of protein structure.
    
    ## Installed Versions
    
    AlphaFold is available on the Karolina cluster.
    For the current list of installed versions, use:
    
    ```console
    ml av alphafold
    ```
    
    ## Loading Databases
    
    AlphaFold needs multiple genetic databases to run.
    These can be downloaded using AlphaFold scripts located in the `apps/all/AlphaFold/2.1.2-fosscuda-2020b-TensorFlow-2.5.0/scripts` directory.
    This step requires the `aria2c` program available as the `aria2/1.35.0-GCCcore-10.3.0` module.
    
    Once downloaded, you must specify the path to the directory on `/scratch` containing the databases.
    
    For more information, see the [AlphaFold documentation][2].
