Hi Dennis, AlphaFold on Google Colab will only work for total sequence length of about 1000 because the old Google Colab GPUs only have 16 Gbytes of memory. Modern GPUs for machine learning like an Nvidia A40 (48 GB) or A100 (40 or 80GB) or A6000 (48 GB) can handle more than 3000 residues but those GPUs cost $5000-$15000. A consumer Nvidia RTX 3090 (24 GB, $1500) can manage up to 2000 residues. Setting up AlphaFold on your own machine is a bit of work. I see from your output file name "af1848" you tried to run total sequence length 1848 which certainly will fail on Google Colab. For examples of AlphaFold runs at different sequence lengths see https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/alphafold-jan2022/afspeed.html Also AlphaFold has a minimum sequence length for each individual sequence is 16 so your example ACCCC and ALLPAAAA will not work. This minimum length is because AlphaFold uses a sequence alignment made by searching a billion database sequences and searching shorter sequence produces millions of hits that are not evolutionarily related. The sequence length limits are described in the ChimeraX documentation https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/alphafold.html#caveats Tom

Hi Eric
1. It seems that I don't have sufficient GPU memory in colab.
I have the following error message: INFO:colabfold.batch:Running model_1 /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/haiku/_src/data_structures.py:195: FutureWarning: jax.tree_flatten is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.

2. Would it be possible to run this in jupyter? Or are there alternatives?
3. " Prediction may fail with total sequence length over 1000 residues due to limited GPU memory." - this total sequence length meaning all the sequences in the list to be concatenated?
4. I seem to also have some pdbxx.m8 and afxxxx.csv files - may I know what these files are for?
Thanks! -Dennis

Well, the message says there is an invalid character, so all I can say is to make sure that you are pasting plain text, and check to see that you have only standard amino acid codes and commas.
WIthout seeing exactly what you pasted, we can't tell which part caused the problem.

Hi Elaine,
Thanks, I was trying to predict a multimer or the overall structure of many subunit chains using individual sequences, each separated with a comma in colab. But it seems that there was some error and no pdb file was generated; the error message is as follows:

How to input sequence(s) is explained in the AlphaFold help page.
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/alphafold.html#predict <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/alphafold.html#predict>>
"For predicting a complex (multimer), the sequences of all chains in the complex must be given. The same sequence must be given multiple times if it occurs in multiple copies in the complex. The sequences can be specified either collectively as a model number chosen from the menu of currently open models (e.g. when that model contains multiple chains), or individually within a comma-separated list of UniProt identifiers or pasted-in amino acid sequences."
E.g. something like
ACCCC,ALLPAAAA

I encounter a problem in multimer prediction with the sequences I use as input. It's always indicating: "Missing or invalid "sequences" argument: Sequences argument" and " is not a chain specifier, alignment id, UniProt id, or sequence characters"
The input format is always something like a fasta format:
seq_id ACCCC
seq_id2 ALLPAAAA
May I know how I can rectify this?
