Web interface for the BV-BRC protein structure prediction pipeline. Submit prediction jobs using Boltz-2, Chai-1, AlphaFold 2, or ESMFold, then view results with interactive 3D structure visualization, confidence scores, and characterization reports.
- Standard mode — Guided wizard or advanced form with auto tool selection
- Expert mode — Individual tool workflows with full parameter control
- Entity inputs — Protein, DNA, RNA, ligands (CCD), SMILES, glycans
- Results viewer — 3Dmol.js structure viewer, pLDDT charts, confidence metrics, reports
- Workspace integration — Browse, upload, and manage files in BV-BRC workspace
- Live job tracking — SSE-based status updates with task logs
- Node.js 22+ (for local development)
- Docker (for containerized deployment)
- A running GoWe instance for CWL workflow execution
- A BV-BRC account for authentication and workspace access
From the workspace root (parent directory containing docker-compose.yml):
docker compose up --build -dThe app is served at http://localhost:8088/folding/.
To rebuild after code changes:
docker compose up --build -dTo stop:
docker compose downBuild the image directly from the folding-ui/ directory:
docker build -t folding-ui .Run the container:
docker run -d -p 8088:80 --name folding-ui folding-uiOpen http://localhost:8088/folding/ in your browser.
npm install
npm run devThe Vite dev server starts at http://localhost:5173/folding/ with hot module replacement. API calls are proxied to the configured backend services (GoWe, BV-BRC Auth, Workspace).

The production container uses nginx to serve the SPA and proxy API requests. Backend URLs are configured in nginx.conf:
| Route | Backend | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
/folding/api/ |
GoWe | CWL workflow engine REST API |
/folding/auth/ |
BV-BRC User Service | Authentication |
/folding/ws-api/ |
BV-BRC Workspace | File storage JSON-RPC |
The same routes are proxied during local development via vite.config.ts.
| Mode | Setting | Workflow | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | unified |
protein-structure-prediction |
Single workflow, tool selected as input parameter |
| Expert | individual |
boltz-report, chai-report, etc. |
Per-tool workflows with full parameter control |
Switch between modes in the settings dropdown (top-right).
