[chimerax-users] missing or invalid sequences

[Elaine Meng]

Without the details of what you did, I can only guess that somehow you did not enter the sequences correctly. They should be plain text, with only a comma between sequences of different proteins.

see AlphaFold predict help:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/alphafold.html#predict>

To say anything more informative, we would need to see exactly what you pasted into the sequence area, and what options you chose in the input dialog.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
