Description

I have a cyclic peptide sequence. I put it into Alphafold2 Colab, but I didn't get a cyclic peptide structure. What should I do to connect the C-terminal and N-terminal for the next dynamic simulation (GROMACS)?

Should I do some processing on the structure obtained by Alphafold2 Colab for Gromacs dynamics? Or input sequence to Alphafold2 Colab need for some pre-processing? Or can Alphafold2 not predict the sequence of cyclic peptides?

It's really important for my research, thanks for any help.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reviewing how ColabFold/AlphaFold2 handles cyclic peptide sequences and how the resulting structure can be prepared for GROMACS; done means documenting a reproducible workflow or clearly stating the supported limitations.
