AlphaFold Structure Database Query

Query the AlphaFold EBI API for predicted protein structures.

When to Use

  • User asks about a protein's predicted 3D structure
  • User wants to download PDB/CIF structure files
  • User asks about structure confidence (pLDDT scores)
  • User wants to visualize protein structure

How to Execute

python
import requests
import json
BASE_URL = "https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/api"
# 1. Get prediction info
def get_alphafold_prediction(uniprot_id):
url = f"{BASE_URL}/prediction/{uniprot_id}"
r = requests.get(url)
r.raise_for_status()
return r.json()
# 2. Download structure file
def download_structure(uniprot_id, output_dir="/workspace/group", fmt="pdb", version="v4"):
filename = f"AF-{uniprot_id}-F1-model_{version}.{fmt}"
url = f"https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/files/{filename}"
r = requests.get(url)
r.raise_for_status()
filepath = f"{output_dir}/{filename}"
with open(filepath, 'wb') as f:
f.write(r.content)
return filepath
# 3. Get per-residue confidence (pLDDT)
def get_plddt(uniprot_id):
url = f"{BASE_URL}/prediction/{uniprot_id}"
r = requests.get(url)
data = r.json()
if isinstance(data, list) and data:
cif_url = data[0].get("cifUrl", "")
plddt_url = data[0].get("paeImageUrl", "")
return {"cifUrl": cif_url, "paeImageUrl": plddt_url, "data": data[0]}
return data
# Example
data = get_alphafold_prediction("P04637") # TP53
if isinstance(data, list) and data:
entry = data[0]
print(f"UniProt: {entry.get('uniprotAccession')}")
print(f"Gene: {entry.get('gene', 'N/A')}")
print(f"Organism: {entry.get('organismScientificName', 'N/A')}")
print(f"Model confidence: {entry.get('globalMetricValue', 'N/A')}")
print(f"PDB URL: {entry.get('pdbUrl', 'N/A')}")
print(f"CIF URL: {entry.get('cifUrl', 'N/A')}")

Follow-up Suggestions

  • "Want me to analyze the structure confidence by region?"
  • "Should I compare this to the experimental PDB structure?"
  • "Want me to identify disordered regions?"
