AlphaFold2: Evolutionary Couplings, the Evoformer, and End-to-End Structure

AlphaFold2 reads a multiple sequence alignment, reasons jointly over sequence and residue-pair representations in the Evoformer, and emits 3D coordinates directly with a per-residue confidence estimate. Co-evolution across homologs is the signal that makes the fold predictable.
