  title: EvolutionaryScale Forge Folding API
  description: >
    Hosted folding and inverse-folding inference for protein structure tasks.
    `fold` predicts protein backbone coordinates plus pLDDT and PTM confidence
    from an amino acid sequence; `inverse_fold` designs candidate sequences
    consistent with a target structure. An `msa` endpoint fetches multiple
    sequence alignments that condition fold predictions for improved accuracy.
