Welcome to AlphaFraud
AlphaFraud watches the PDB for freshly-deposited human structures and pits each against its blind AlphaFold prediction — a continuous, public test of whether protein folding is really “solved”. Every week it surfaces the structures AlphaFold got most confidently wrong: sure of itself, and still missing.

All structures
The cumulative dashboard — every analysed human structure on the pLDDT-vs-agreement “fraud quadrant”, with metric histograms and a weekly trend.
Worst offenders
The all-time leaderboard of AlphaFold’s biggest misses, grouped by protein with a ×N repeat count and a deviation-coloured ribbon each.
Examples
Hand-authored deep-dives plus an auto “example of the week”, opening with a positive control where AlphaFold nailed a novel structure.
Calculate
Type any human PDB ID and score it on demand — the full pipeline runs live and returns the same panel, with no AI-written text.
Analysis
Where the failures cluster: CATH/SCOP fold-family enrichment, sequence clustering and per-superfamily blind-spot scorecards.
Archive
Every PDB release week since the 2018 cutoff, browsable at weekly granularity and linked to each week’s structures.
