AlphaFold2 (AF) can evaluate protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with high accuracy by finding evolutionary signals between proteins but comes with a high computational cost. Here, we speed up the prediction with AF for PPI network prediction 40x and reduce the disk space requirements 4000x for a set of 1000 proteins. Our protocol is easy to install and freely available from: https://github.com/patrickbryant1/SpeedPPI.

Matching journals

The top 2 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
