File Format Conversion

If you would like to convert a file from one format to another, you can do so using ConKit’s provided script, which is called conkit-convert.

$> conkit-convert 7l6q/7l6q.af2 alphafold2 7l6q/7l6q.rr2 caspmode2

The call above converts the 7l6q.af2 file, which is in alphafold2 format, to the 7l6q.rr2 file in caspmode2 format. These two file formats contain inter-residue distance predictions. You can also choose to convert residue distance predictions into a residue contact prediction file, for example:

$> conkit-convert 7l6q/7l6q.af2 alphafold2 7l6q/7l6q.psicov psicov

The call above converts the 7l6q.af2 file, which is in alphafold2 distance prediction format, to the 7l6q.psicov file in psicov contact prediction format. It is not possible to perform the inverse conversion (residue contact predictions into inter-residue distance predictions).

Conkit supports many different other formats, for a full list check out the Table of available file formats.
