VAIRO
Provides ways to inform AlphaFold predictions with additional and selected prior knowledge, through site-specific variants, predefined alignments and templates. It allows rescuing weaker interactions to complete the view of molecular assemblies, and reveals otherwise inaccessible dynamic states. Command-line program (vairo) and graphical interface (VAIROGUI).
