## Features

OpenFold carefully reproduces (almost) all of the features of the original open
source monomer (v2.0.1) and multimer (v2.3.2) inference code. The sole exception is 
model ensembling, which fared poorly in DeepMind's own ablation testing and is being 
phased out in future DeepMind experiments. It is omitted here for the sake of reducing 
clutter. In cases where the *Nature* paper differs from the source, we always defer to the 
latter.

OpenFold is trainable in full precision, half precision, or `bfloat16` with or without DeepSpeed, 
and we've trained it from scratch, matching the performance of the original. 
We've publicly released model weights and our training data — some 400,000 
MSAs and PDB70 template hit files — under a permissive license. Model weights 
are available via scripts in this repository while the MSAs are hosted by the 
[Registry of Open Data on AWS (RODA)](https://registry.opendata.aws/openfold). 
Try out running inference for yourself with our [Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/aqlaboratory/openfold/blob/main/notebooks/OpenFold.ipynb).

OpenFold also supports inference using AlphaFold's official parameters, and 
vice versa (see `scripts/convert_of_weights_to_jax.py`).

OpenFold has the following advantages over the reference implementation:

- **Faster inference** on GPU, sometimes by as much as 2x. The greatest speedups are achieved on Ampere or higher architecture GPUs.
- **Inference on extremely long chains**, made possible by our implementation of low-memory attention 
([Rabe & Staats 2021](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.05682.pdf)). OpenFold can predict the structures of
  sequences with more than 4000 residues on a single A100, and even longer ones with CPU offloading.
- **Custom CUDA attention kernels** modified from [FastFold](https://github.com/hpcaitech/FastFold)'s 
kernels support in-place attention during inference and training. They use 
4x and 5x less GPU memory than equivalent FastFold and stock PyTorch 
implementations, respectively.
- **Efficient alignment scripts** using the original AlphaFold HHblits/JackHMMER pipeline or [ColabFold](https://github.com/sokrypton/ColabFold)'s, which uses the faster MMseqs2 instead. We've used them to generate millions of alignments.
- **FlashAttention** support greatly speeds up MSA attention.
- **DeepSpeed DS4Sci_EvoformerAttention kernel** is a memory-efficient attention kernel developed as part of a collaboration between OpenFold and the DeepSpeed4Science initiative. The kernel provides substantial speedups for training and inference, and significantly reduces the model's peak device memory requirement by 13X. The model is 15% faster during the initial training and finetuning stages, and up to 4x faster during inference. To use this feature, simply set the `use_deepspeed_evo_attention` option in `openfold/config.py`.

## Installation (Linux)

All Python dependencies are specified in `environment.yml`. For producing sequence 
alignments, you'll also need `kalign`, the [HH-suite](https://github.com/soedinglab/hh-suite), 
and one of {`jackhmmer`, [MMseqs2](https://github.com/soedinglab/mmseqs2) (nightly build)} 
installed on your system. You'll need `git-lfs` to download OpenFold parameters. 
Finally, some download scripts require `aria2c` and `aws`.

This package is currently supported for CUDA 11 and Pytorch 1.12

To install:
1. Clone the repository, e.g. `git clone https://github.com/aqlaboratory/openfold.git`
1. From the `openfold` repo: 
    - Create a [Mamba]("https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/) environment, e.g. 
        `mamba env create -n openfold_env -f environment.yml`
      Mamba is recommended as the dependencies required by OpenFold are quite large and mamba can speed up the process.
    - Activate the environment, e.g `conda activate openfold_env` 
1. Run `scripts/install_third_party_dependencies.sh` to configure kernels and folding resources.

For some systems, it may help to append the Conda environment library path to `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. The `install_third_party_dependencies.sh` script does this once, but you may need this for each bash instance.


## Download Alignment Databases

If you intend to generate your own alignments, e.g. for inference, you have two 
choices for downloading protein databases, depending on whether you want to use 
DeepMind's MSA generation pipeline (w/ HMMR & HHblits) or 
[ColabFold](https://github.com/sokrypton/ColabFold)'s, which uses the faster
MMseqs2 instead. For the former, run:

```bash
bash scripts/download_alphafold_dbs.sh data/
```

For the latter, run:

```bash
bash scripts/download_mmseqs_dbs.sh data/    # downloads .tar files
bash scripts/prep_mmseqs_dbs.sh data/        # unpacks and preps the databases
```

Make sure to run the latter command on the machine that will be used for MSA
generation (the script estimates how the precomputed database index used by
MMseqs2 should be split according to the memory available on the system).

If you're using your own precomputed MSAs or MSAs from the RODA repository, 
there's no need to download these alignment databases. Simply make sure that
the `alignment_dir` contains one directory per chain and that each of these
contains alignments (.sto, .a3m, and .hhr) corresponding to that chain. You
can use `scripts/flatten_roda.sh` to reformat RODA downloads in this way.
Note that the RODA alignments are NOT compatible with the recent .cif ground
truth files downloaded by `scripts/download_alphafold_dbs.sh`. To fetch .cif 
files that match the RODA MSAs, once the alignments are flattened, use 
`scripts/download_roda_pdbs.sh`. That script outputs a list of alignment dirs 
for which matching .cif files could not be found. These should be removed from 
the alignment directory.

Alternatively, you can use raw MSAs from 
[ProteinNet](https://github.com/aqlaboratory/proteinnet). After downloading
that database, use `scripts/prep_proteinnet_msas.py` to convert the data 
into a format recognized by the OpenFold parser. The resulting directory 
becomes the `alignment_dir` used in subsequent steps. Use 
`scripts/unpack_proteinnet.py` to extract `.core` files from ProteinNet text 
files.

For both inference and training, the model's hyperparameters can be tuned from
`openfold/config.py`. Of course, if you plan to perform inference using 
DeepMind's pretrained parameters, you will only be able to make changes that
do not affect the shapes of model parameters. For an example of initializing
the model, consult `run_pretrained_openfold.py`.

## Inference

OpenFold now supports three inference modes: 
- [Monomer Inference](#monomer-inference): OpenFold reproduction of AlphaFold2. Inference available with either DeepMind's pretrained parameters or OpenFold trained parameters. 
- [Multimer Inference](#multimer-inference): OpenFold reproduction of AlphaFold-Multimer. Inference available with DeepMind's pre-trained parameters. 
- [Single Sequence Inference (SoloSeq)](#soloseq-inference): Language Model based structure prediction, using [ESM-1b](https://github.com/facebookresearch/esm) embeddings.  

More instructions for each inference mode are provided below:

### Monomer inference

To run inference on a sequence or multiple sequences using a set of DeepMind's 
pretrained parameters, first download the OpenFold weights e.g.:

```bash 
bash scripts/download_openfold_params.sh openfold/resources
```

then run e.g.:

```bash
python3 run_pretrained_openfold.py \
    fasta_dir \
    data/pdb_mmcif/mmcif_files/ \
    --uniref90_database_path data/uniref90/uniref90.fasta \
    --mgnify_database_path data/mgnify/mgy_clusters_2018_12.fa \
    --pdb70_database_path data/pdb70/pdb70 \
    --uniclust30_database_path data/uniclust30/uniclust30_2018_08/uniclust30_2018_08 \
    --bfd_database_path data/bfd/bfd_metaclust_clu_complete_id30_c90_final_seq.sorted_opt \
    --jackhmmer_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/jackhmmer \
    --hhblits_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hhblits \
    --hhsearch_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hhsearch \
    --kalign_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/kalign \
    --config_preset "model_1_ptm" \
    --model_device "cuda:0" \
    --output_dir ./ \
    --openfold_checkpoint_path openfold/resources/openfold_params/finetuning_ptm_2.pt
```

where `data` is the same directory as in the previous step. If `jackhmmer`, 
`hhblits`, `hhsearch` and `kalign` are available at the default path of 
`/usr/bin`, their `binary_path` command-line arguments can be dropped.
If you've already computed alignments for the query, you have the option to 
skip the expensive alignment computation here with 
`--use_precomputed_alignments`.

`--openfold_checkpoint_path` or `--jax_param_path` accept comma-delineated lists
of .pt/DeepSpeed OpenFold checkpoints and AlphaFold's .npz JAX parameter files, 
respectively. For a breakdown of the differences between the different parameter 
files, see the README downloaded to `openfold/resources/openfold_params/`. Since 
OpenFold was trained under a newer training schedule than the one from which the 
`model_n` config presets are derived, there is no clean correspondence between 
`config_preset` settings and OpenFold checkpoints; the only restraints are that 
`*_ptm` checkpoints must be run with `*_ptm` config presets and that `_no_templ_`
checkpoints are only compatible with template-less presets (`model_3` and above).

Note that chunking (as defined in section 1.11.8 of the AlphaFold 2 supplement)
is enabled by default in inference mode. To disable it, set `globals.chunk_size`
to `None` in the config. If a value is specified, OpenFold will attempt to 
dynamically tune it, considering the chunk size specified in the config as a 
minimum. This tuning process automatically ensures consistently fast runtimes 
regardless of input sequence length, but it also introduces some runtime 
variability, which may be undesirable for certain users. It is also recommended
to disable this feature for very long chains (see below). To do so, set the 
`tune_chunk_size` option in the config to `False`.

For large-scale batch inference, we offer an optional tracing mode, which
massively improves runtimes at the cost of a lengthy model compilation process.
To enable it, add `--trace_model` to the inference command.

To get a speedup during inference, enable [FlashAttention](https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention)
in the config. Note that it appears to work best for sequences with < 1000 residues.

To minimize memory usage during inference on long sequences, consider the
following changes:

- As noted in the AlphaFold-Multimer paper, the AlphaFold/OpenFold template
stack is a major memory bottleneck for inference on long sequences. OpenFold
supports two mutually exclusive inference modes to address this issue. One,
`average_templates` in the `template` section of the config, is similar to the
solution offered by AlphaFold-Multimer, which is simply to average individual
template representations. Our version is modified slightly to accommodate 
weights trained using the standard template algorithm. Using said weights, we
notice no significant difference in performance between our averaged template 
embeddings and the standard ones. The second, `offload_templates`, temporarily 
offloads individual template embeddings into CPU memory. The former is an 
approximation while the latter is slightly slower; both are memory-efficient 
and allow the model to utilize arbitrarily many templates across sequence 
lengths. Both are disabled by default, and it is up to the user to determine 
which best suits their needs, if either.
- Inference-time low-memory attention (LMA) can be enabled in the model config.
This setting trades off speed for vastly improved memory usage. By default,
LMA is run with query and key chunk sizes of 1024 and 4096, respectively.
These represent a favorable tradeoff in most memory-constrained cases.
Powerusers can choose to tweak these settings in 
`openfold/model/primitives.py`. For more information on the LMA algorithm,
see the aforementioned Staats & Rabe preprint.
- Disable `tune_chunk_size` for long sequences. Past a certain point, it only
wastes time.
- As a last resort, consider enabling `offload_inference`. This enables more
extensive CPU offloading at various bottlenecks throughout the model.
- Disable FlashAttention, which seems unstable on long sequences.

Using the most conservative settings, we were able to run inference on a 
4600-residue complex with a single A100. Compared to AlphaFold's own memory 
offloading mode, ours is considerably faster; the same complex takes the more 
efficent AlphaFold-Multimer more than double the time. Use the
`long_sequence_inference` config option to enable all of these interventions
at once. The `run_pretrained_openfold.py` script can enable this config option with the 
`--long_sequence_inference` command line option

Input FASTA files containing multiple sequences are treated as complexes. In
this case, the inference script runs AlphaFold-Gap, a hack proposed
[here](https://twitter.com/minkbaek/status/1417538291709071362?lang=en), using
the specified stock AlphaFold/OpenFold parameters (NOT AlphaFold-Multimer).

### Multimer Inference

To run inference on a complex or multiple complexes using a set of DeepMind's pretrained parameters, run e.g.:

```bash
python3 run_pretrained_openfold.py \
    fasta_dir \
    data/pdb_mmcif/mmcif_files/ \
    --uniref90_database_path data/uniref90/uniref90.fasta \
    --mgnify_database_path data/mgnify/mgy_clusters_2022_05.fa \
    --pdb_seqres_database_path data/pdb_seqres/pdb_seqres.txt \
    --uniref30_database_path data/uniref30/UniRef30_2021_03 \
    --uniprot_database_path data/uniprot/uniprot.fasta \
    --bfd_database_path data/bfd/bfd_metaclust_clu_complete_id30_c90_final_seq.sorted_opt \
    --jackhmmer_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/jackhmmer \
    --hhblits_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hhblits \
    --hmmsearch_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hmmsearch \
    --hmmbuild_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hmmbuild \
    --kalign_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/kalign \
    --config_preset "model_1_multimer_v3" \
    --model_device "cuda:0" \
    --output_dir ./ 
```

As with monomer inference, if you've already computed alignments for the query, you can use 
the `--use_precomputed_alignments` option. Note that template searching in the multimer pipeline 
uses HMMSearch with the PDB SeqRes database, replacing HHSearch and PDB70 used in the monomer pipeline.

**Upgrade from an existing OpenFold installation** 

The above command requires several upgrades to existing openfold installations. 

1. Re-download the alphafold parameters to get the latest
AlphaFold-Multimer v3 weights:
    
   ```bash
    bash scripts/download_alphafold_params.sh openfold/resources
   ```

2. Download the [UniProt](https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/) 
and [PDB SeqRes](https://www.rcsb.org/) databases: 
    
   ```bash
    bash scripts/download_uniprot.sh data/
   ```
    
    The PDB SeqRes and PDB databases must be from the same date to avoid potential 
    errors during template searching. Remove the existing `data/pdb_mmcif` directory 
    and download both databases:
    
   ```bash
    bash scripts/download_pdb_mmcif.sh data/
    bash scripts/download_pdb_seqres.sh data/
   ```

3. Additionally, AlphaFold-Multimer uses upgraded versions of the [MGnify](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics) 
and [UniRef30](https://uniclust.mmseqs.com/) (previously UniClust30) databases. To download the upgraded databases, run:
    
   ```bash
    bash scripts/download_uniref30.sh data/
    bash scripts/download_mgnify.sh data/
   ```
   Multimer inference can also run with the older database versions if desired. 


### Soloseq Inference

To run inference for a sequence using the SoloSeq single-sequence model, you can either precompute ESM-1b embeddings in bulk, or you can generate them during inference.

For generating ESM-1b embeddings in bulk, use the provided script: `scripts/precompute_embeddings.py`. The script takes a directory of FASTA files (one sequence per file) and generates ESM-1b embeddings in the same format and directory structure as required by SoloSeq. Following is an example command to use the script:

```bash
python scripts/precompute_embeddings.py fasta_dir/ embeddings_output_dir/
```

In the same per-label subdirectories inside `embeddings_output_dir`, you can also place `*.hhr` files (outputs from HHSearch), which can contain the details about the structures that you want to use as templates. If you do not place any such file, templates will not be used and only the ESM-1b embeddings will be used to predict the structure. If you want to use templates, you need to pass the PDB MMCIF dataset to the command.

Then download the SoloSeq model weights, e.g.:


```bash 
bash scripts/download_openfold_soloseq_params.sh openfold/resources
```


Now, you are ready to run inference:
```bash
python run_pretrained_openfold.py \
    fasta_dir \
    data/pdb_mmcif/mmcif_files/ \
    --use_precomputed_alignments embeddings_output_dir \
    --output_dir ./ \
    --model_device "cuda:0" \
    --config_preset "seq_model_esm1b_ptm" \
    --openfold_checkpoint_path openfold/resources/openfold_soloseq_params/seq_model_esm1b_ptm.pt
```

For generating the embeddings during inference, skip the `--use_precomputed_alignments` argument. The `*.hhr` files will be generated as well if you pass the paths to the relevant databases and tools, as specified in the command below. If you skip the database and tool arguments, HHSearch will not be used to find templates and only generated ESM-1b embeddings will be used to predict the structure.
```bash
python3 run_pretrained_openfold.py \
    fasta_dir \
    data/pdb_mmcif/mmcif_files/ \
    --output_dir ./ \
    --model_device "cuda:0" \
    --config_preset "seq_model_esm1b_ptm" \
    --openfold_checkpoint_path openfold/resources/openfold_soloseq_params/seq_model_esm1b_ptm.pt \
    --uniref90_database_path data/uniref90/uniref90.fasta \
    --pdb70_database_path data/pdb70/pdb70 \
    --jackhmmer_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/jackhmmer \
    --hhsearch_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hhsearch \
    --kalign_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/kalign \
```

For generating template information, you will need the UniRef90 and PDB70 databases and the JackHmmer and HHSearch binaries. 

SoloSeq allows you to use the same flags and optimizations as the MSA-based OpenFold. For example, you can skip relaxation using `--skip_relaxation`, save all model outputs using `--save_outputs`, and generate output files in MMCIF format using `--cif_output`.

**NOTE:** Due to the nature of the ESM-1b embeddings, the sequence length for inference using the SoloSeq model is limited to 1022 residues. Sequences longer than that will be truncated.

## Training

To train the model, you will first need to precompute protein alignments. 

You have two options. You can use the same procedure DeepMind used by running
the following:

```bash
python3 scripts/precompute_alignments.py mmcif_dir/ alignment_dir/ \
    --uniref90_database_path data/uniref90/uniref90.fasta \
    --mgnify_database_path data/mgnify/mgy_clusters_2018_12.fa \
    --pdb70_database_path data/pdb70/pdb70 \
    --uniclust30_database_path data/uniclust30/uniclust30_2018_08/uniclust30_2018_08 \
    --bfd_database_path data/bfd/bfd_metaclust_clu_complete_id30_c90_final_seq.sorted_opt \
    --cpus_per_task 16 \
    --jackhmmer_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/jackhmmer \
    --hhblits_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hhblits \
    --hhsearch_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/hhsearch \
    --kalign_binary_path lib/conda/envs/openfold_venv/bin/kalign
```

As noted before, you can skip the `binary_path` arguments if these binaries are 
at `/usr/bin`. Expect this step to take a very long time, even for small 
numbers of proteins.

Alternatively, you can generate MSAs with the ColabFold pipeline (and templates
with HHsearch) with:

```bash
python3 scripts/precompute_alignments_mmseqs.py input.fasta \
    data/mmseqs_dbs \
    uniref30_2103_db \
    alignment_dir \
    ~/MMseqs2/build/bin/mmseqs \
    /usr/bin/hhsearch \
    --env_db colabfold_envdb_202108_db
    --pdb70 data/pdb70/pdb70
```

where `input.fasta` is a FASTA file containing one or more query sequences. To 
generate an input FASTA from a directory of mmCIF and/or ProteinNet .core 
files, we provide `scripts/data_dir_to_fasta.py`.

Next, generate a cache of certain datapoints in the template mmCIF files:

```bash
python3 scripts/generate_mmcif_cache.py \
    mmcif_dir/ \
    mmcif_cache.json \
    --no_workers 16
```

This cache is used to pre-filter templates. 

Next, generate a separate chain-level cache with data used for training-time 
data filtering:

```bash
python3 scripts/generate_chain_data_cache.py \
    mmcif_dir/ \
    chain_data_cache.json \
    --cluster_file clusters-by-entity-40.txt \
    --no_workers 16
```

where the `cluster_file` argument is a file of chain clusters, one cluster
per line.

Optionally, download an AlphaFold-style validation set from 
[CAMEO](https://cameo3d.org) using `scripts/download_cameo.py`. Use the 
resulting FASTA files to generate validation alignments and then specify 
the validation set's location using the `--val_...` family of training script 
flags.

Finally, call the training script:

```bash
python3 train_openfold.py mmcif_dir/ alignment_dir/ template_mmcif_dir/ output_dir/ \
    2021-10-10 \ 
    --template_release_dates_cache_path mmcif_cache.json \ 
    --precision bf16 \
    --gpus 8 --replace_sampler_ddp=True \
    --seed 4242022 \ # in multi-gpu settings, the seed must be specified
    --deepspeed_config_path deepspeed_config.json \
    --checkpoint_every_epoch \
    --resume_from_ckpt ckpt_dir/ \
    --train_chain_data_cache_path chain_data_cache.json \
    --obsolete_pdbs_file_path obsolete.dat
```

where `--template_release_dates_cache_path` is a path to the mmCIF cache. 
Note that `template_mmcif_dir` can be the same as `mmcif_dir` which contains
training targets. A suitable DeepSpeed configuration file can be generated with 
`scripts/build_deepspeed_config.py`. The training script is 
written with [PyTorch Lightning](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning) 
and supports the full range of training options that entails, including 
multi-node distributed training, validation, and so on. For more information, 
consult PyTorch Lightning documentation and the `--help` flag of the training 
script.

Note that, despite its variable name, `mmcif_dir` can also contain PDB files 
or even ProteinNet .core files. 

To emulate the AlphaFold training procedure, which uses a self-distillation set 
subject to special preprocessing steps, use the family of `--distillation` flags.

In cases where it may be burdensome to create separate files for each chain's
alignments, alignment directories can be consolidated using the scripts in 
`scripts/alignment_db_scripts/`. First, run `create_alignment_db.py` to
consolidate an alignment directory into a pair of database and index files.
Once all alignment directories (or shards of a single alignment directory)
have been compiled, unify the indices with `unify_alignment_db_indices.py`. The
resulting index, `super.index`, can be passed to the training script flags
containing the phrase `alignment_index`. In this scenario, the `alignment_dir`
flags instead represent the directory containing the compiled alignment
databases. Both the training and distillation datasets can be compiled in this
way. Anecdotally, this can speed up training in I/O-bottlenecked environments.

## Testing

To run unit tests, use

```bash
scripts/run_unit_tests.sh
```

The script is a thin wrapper around Python's `unittest` suite, and recognizes
`unittest` arguments. E.g., to run a specific test verbosely:

```bash
scripts/run_unit_tests.sh -v tests.test_model
```

Certain tests require that AlphaFold (v2.0.1) be installed in the same Python
environment. These run components of AlphaFold and OpenFold side by side and
ensure that output activations are adequately similar. For most modules, we
target a maximum pointwise difference of `1e-4`.

## Building and Using the Docker Container

**Building the Docker Image**

Openfold can be built as a docker container using the included dockerfile. To build it, run the following command from the root of this repository:

```bash
docker build -t openfold .
```

**Running the Docker Container** 

The built container contains both `run_pretrained_openfold.py` and `train_openfold.py` as well as all necessary software dependencies. It does not contain the model parameters, sequence, or structural databases. These should be downloaded to the host machine following the instructions in the Usage section above. 

The docker container installs all conda components to the base conda environment in `/opt/conda`, and installs openfold itself in `/opt/openfold`,

Before running the docker container, you can verify that your docker installation is able to properly communicate with your GPU by running the following command:


```bash
docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.0-base nvidia-smi
```

Note the `--gpus all` option passed to `docker run`. This option is necessary in order for the container to use the GPUs on the host machine.

To run the inference code under docker, you can use a command like the one below.  In this example, parameters and sequences from the alphafold dataset are being used and are located at `/mnt/alphafold_database` on the host machine, and the input files are located in the current working directory. You can adjust the volume mount locations as needed to reflect the locations of your data. 

```bash
docker run \
--gpus all \
-v $PWD/:/data \
-v /mnt/alphafold_database/:/database \
-ti openfold:latest \
python3 /opt/openfold/run_pretrained_openfold.py \
