Abstract
Synchronizing protein structure predictions with sequence databases is crucial for their accuracy. We developed AlphaSync (alphasync.stjude.org), a pipeline and database that provides updated AlphaFold structure models for currently 39,961 UniProt proteins, including isoforms. Moreover, AlphaSync enhances 2.6 million structures with residue-level features, including solvent accessibility, dihedral angles, intrinsic disorder predictions, and 4.7 billion atom-level noncovalent contacts. AlphaSyncs user-friendly interface enables structural analyses at scale across up-to-date proteomes for 42 species.
