Description

Previously I used the version without patch (i.e., "ColabFold v1.5.2: AlphaFold2 using MMseqs2") to run the modeling pf the structure of my proteins. The problem is that when I run the modeling starting from the same sequence but using the version "ColabFold v1.5.2-patch: AlphaFold2 using MMseqs2" I obtain different result and thus I am not able to reproduce the data acquired previously.

In addition, even using the same version "ColabFold v1.5.2-patch: AlphaFold2 using MMseqs2" for two runs with the same sequence I obtain two different results.

My questions are:

  1. Is there anyway to use again "ColabFold v1.5.2: AlphaFold2 using MMseqs2" version?

  2. I there a specific parameter to make reproducible two runs starting from the same sequence?

Sorry to bother you and thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Marian Vincenzi
