FINALLY!! FoldCheck is ready to ship!!! After so much time coding, fixing errors, testing stuff and adding new features, I’ve finally got FoldCheck to a stage where im happy with it! Since my last devlog, I’ve added a bunch of new things, including interactive 3D protein models, AlphaFold confidence analysis, PAE heatmaps, amino acid and atom information, functional regions and even comparisons with experimental protein structures! One of the hardest parts was definitely getting the 3D models to work properly, especially linking the scientific data with the actual protein structures. There were so many errors along the way, and sometimes fixing one thing would break another 😭 But I’ve learnt so much about proteins, AlphaFold, coding and how scientific software actually works! I also used AI throughout development to help with coding, debugging and understanding concepts I wasn’t familiar with, which was really useful! I did have plans for mutation analysis too, but I’ve decided to leave that for a future personal project rather than rushing it into FoldCheck. The whole point of FoldCheck was to show that just because a predicted protein structure looks accurate, it doesnt mean we should automatically trust every part of it! And now I’ve finally got a working tool that lets people actually investigate that!! I’ve also successfully uploaded the entire project to GitHub, which took a surprising amount of troubleshooting itself 😭 Anyways, im really happy with how far this project has come, and I can’t believe im finally saying this, but FOLDCHECK IS READY TO SHIP!!! 🧬🚀
