Adding support for interactive MSA viewing, including coloring by entropy! Auto download from AFDB (for both uniprot and pdb entries). (4/4)

Save vectorized SVG for infinitely ♾ zoomable figures. (including support for contacts).

Adding record button to save animation. (2/4)

Maybe something akin to paper2agent:

hmmm... any ideas why mpnn would make things worse for af2, but make things about the same as af2 when used with boltz?

Yeah, we would expect the pseudo-likelihood to be maximized for best paired MSA!

We'll add an option to add custom MSA inputs to the notebook (later tonight). 😎

It was expected. The surprising part for me was that AlphaFold doesn't seem to care....

See study here from @lindseyguan.bsky.social
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This makes me wonder if the reason it doesn't seem to care is because it was trained on and evaluated on poorly paired MSAs. 🤔

2Y69 is technically "prokaryotic" as it's from the mitochondria. 🧐

We find this to be true across a number of targets. Where method used to pair sequences and filter them makes a big difference. This we find to be important when trying to disentangle paralogs from orthologs (4/4).

The big difference is in the pairing. The MMseqs2 server pairs sequences based on species, while our old HHblits MSAs were paired based on genome proximity (number of genes apart). Working w/ @milot.bsky.social and @martinsteinegger.bsky.social we implemented the proximity filtering in server (3/4)

Side story: While working on the Google Colab notebook for MSA pairformer. We encountered a problem: The MMseqs2 ColabFold MSA did not show any contacts at protein interfaces, while our old HHblits alignments showed clear contacts 🫥... (2/4)

Not sure, I was referring to the earlier observation that alphafold adjust it's confidence when additional proteins are provided. Was making a point that this is expected, and just math 🙃
