LumaFold

LumaFold is a protein structure prediction tool developed by Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.) and released in 2022. It is designed to predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences, a process known as protein folding. LumaFold uses a deep learning approach, specifically a transformer-based model, to analyze sequences and predict their structures. The model was trained on a large dataset of known protein structures, allowing it to learn the patterns and rules that govern protein folding. LumaFold has shown promising results in predicting the structures of proteins with high accuracy, making it a valuable tool for researchers in the field of structural biology. It has been used to study the structures of proteins involved in various diseases, such as Alzheimer's and COVID-19, and to design new proteins with desired functions. LumaFold is available as a web-based tool and can be accessed by researchers worldwide. However, it is important to note that while LumaFold can provide useful insights, it should be used in conjunction with experimental methods to confirm the predicted structures.
