All steps are the same as when running the monomer system, but you will have to
* provide an input fasta with multiple sequences,
* set `--model_preset=multimer`,
* optionally set the `--is_prokaryote_list` flag with booleans that determine
whether all input sequences in the given fasta file are prokaryotic. If that
is not the case or the origin is unknown, set to `false` for that fasta.
An example that folds two protein complexes `multimer1` and `multimer2` where
the first is prokaryotic and the second isn't:
```bash
python3 docker/run_docker.py \
--fasta_paths=multimer1.fasta,multimer2.fasta \
--is_prokaryote_list=true,false \
--max_template_date=2020-05-14 \
--model_preset=multimer \
--data_dir=$DOWNLOAD_DIR
```
### AlphaFold output
The outputs will be in a subfolder of `output_dir` in `run_docker.py`. They
include the computed MSAs, unrelaxed structures, relaxed structures, ranked
structures, raw model outputs, prediction metadata, and section timings. The
`output_dir` directory will have the following structure:
The outputs will be saved in a subdirectory of the directory provided via the
`--output_dir` flag of `run_docker.py` (defaults to `/tmp/alphafold/`). The
outputs include the computed MSAs, unrelaxed structures, relaxed structures,
ranked structures, raw model outputs, prediction metadata, and section timings.
The `--output_dir` directory will have the following structure:
