Description

Hi,
I am trying to run Alphafold using a custom template. The template I am using as input is not published yet but I have both realspace-refined Pdb and cif files. When I am trying to run Alphafold with the unpublished Pdb, I get an error saying "no templates found”. I am wondering if is it possible to run Alphafold using unpublished Pdb as a custom template.
Regards,
Shashank.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the “no templates found” result with the unpublished PDB and CIF inputs, then inspect how ColabFold discovers and validates custom templates. Done means establishing whether unpublished structures are supported and documenting the required input or limitation.
