Run AlphaFold v2.0 on Amazon EC2

After the article in Nature about the open-source of AlphaFold v2.0 on GitHub by DeepMind, many in the scientific and research community have wanted to try out DeepMind's AlphaFold implementation firsthand. With compute resources through Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with Nvidia GPU, you can quickly get AlphaFold running and try it out yourself. In this post, I provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to install AlphaFold on an EC2 instance with Nvidia GPU. The process starts with a Deep Learning Amazon Machine Image (DLAMI). After installation, we run predictions using the AlphaFold model with CASP14 samples on the instance.
