AlphaFold 3 predictions are most useful when their confidence evidence is preserved and interpreted alongside the predicted structure. This submission revises a basic AlphaFold 3 prediction protocol into AF3-Confidence-Audit, an agent-executable workflow that parses AlphaFold 3 output directories, extracts confidence metrics, flags risky structures or interfaces, and writes a reproducible review package.

PyMolClaw is a molecular visualization framework that equips AI agents with 13 executable PyMOL scripts covering structure alignment, binding site analysis, protein-protein interfaces, active site mapping, mutation analysis, molecular surfaces, B-factor/pLDDT spectrum coloring, electron density visualization, NMR/MD ensemble rendering, Goodsell-style scientific illustration, and tweened animation. Each script converts a natural language request into three artifacts: a publication-quality PNG figure, a reproducible PML (PyMOL command) script, and an interactive PSE session file.

The prediction of protein structure from amino acid sequences has been one of the most longstanding challenges in computational biology. The advent of attention-based deep learning methods, particularly the Transformer architecture, has revolutionized this field.

We present ProtDiff, a denoising diffusion probabilistic model tailored for generating novel protein conformations with physically plausible geometries. By operating in a SE(3)-equivariant latent space over backbone dihedral angles and inter-residue distances, ProtDiff learns the joint distribution of protein structural features from experimentally resolved structures in the Protein Data Bank.
