🧬 Claude isn't the only AI that can query PDBe.

PDBe MCP Servers work with other AI clients too, such as Google Antigravity.

You only need one protocol for any MCP-compatible AI.

🎥 Watch the install walkthrough 👇

The latest #AlphaFold DB update is out!

We synchronised with UniProt release 2025_03, predicted protein isoforms across all species, and provide MSAs used to generate each prediction.

Proud of the team at the PDBe for the hard work that went into this. Grateful to play my part in it!
We’re renewing our collaboration with Google DeepMind!

We'll keep developing the AlphaFold Database to support protein science worldwide 🎉

To mark the moment we’ve synchronised the database with UniProtKB release 2025_03.
