binder-design

Guidance for choosing the right protein binder design tool. Use this skill when: (1) Deciding between BoltzGen, BindCraft, or RFdiffusion, (2) Planning a binder design campaign, (3) Understanding trade-offs between different approaches, (4) Selecting tools for specific target types. For specific tool parameters, use the individual tool skills (boltzgen, bindcraft, rfdiffusion, etc.).

foldseek

Structure similarity search with Foldseek. Use this skill when: (1) Finding similar structures in PDB/AFDB databases, (2) Structural homology search, (3) Database queries by 3D structure, (4) Finding remote homologs not detected by sequence, (5) Clustering structures by similarity. For sequence similarity, use uniprot BLAST. For structure prediction, use chai or boltz.
