Baidu and BioMap AI Research Open-Sources HelixFold-Single: An End-To-End MSA-Free Protein Structure Prediction Pipeline

Proteins play crucial roles for an organism and are involved in nearly all biological processes. Studying protein structures and functions can significantly advance the field of life science because their biological functions and architectures are closely related.

AI-based protein structure prediction technologies have significantly improved prediction accuracy in recent years. AlphaFold2 is one example of an AI-based protein structure prediction pipeline that has achieved close to experimental precision. Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSAs) and templates are the major inputs used by …
