AlphaFold database now includes 1.7 million 'homodimers' - comprising two interacting strands of the same molecule
go.nature.com/4cSmbnT
The database of 200 million protein-structure predictions now includes homodimers, adding new biological relevance.
We are so proud of all our Biochemical Society 2027 Award winners. Visit our website to find out more about all of the deserving recipients #BiochemAwards 🧪

You asked, we listened. Millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures are now available in the #AlphaFold Database.
This spans homodimers from 20 of the most studied species, including humans, as well as the World Health Organization’s priority pathogens list.
