An open, reproducible implementation of AlphaFold 2
OpenFold 2 is an open-source reproduction of AlphaFold 2, developed by the OpenFold Consortium and the AlQuraishi Lab at Columbia University. It delivers the same core prediction capabilities as AlphaFold 2 with a fully transparent, auditable codebase — making it a great choice for teams that need to understand, validate, or extend the underlying model. Benchling is a member of the OpenFold Consortium.
Key capabilities:
Full reproduction of AlphaFold 2 prediction capabilities
Transparent, auditable codebase for research and validation use cases
Supported by the OpenFold Consortium and academic community
Improved quality with fast and private MSA support (GPU-accelerated)
