bc_get_alphafold_info_by_protein_symbol

Retrieve protein structure information, including PDB and CIF file links, from the AlphaFold database using the protein symbol and species ID via BioContextAI Knowledgebase MCP.

Instructions

Query the AlphaFold database for the protein structure information using the protein name.

This function constructs a query URL to fetch data from the AlphaFold database based on the provided protein name. The response contains links to the PDB and CIF files for the protein structure, as well as general information about the protein.

Args: protein_symbol (Annotated[str, Field, optional): The name of the protein to search for (e.g., "SYNPO"). species (str): The organism ID (e.g., "9606" for human). Default is "9606".

Returns: dict: Protein structure information or an error message.

`protein_symbol`	Yes	The name of the gene to search for (e.g., 'SYNPO')
`species`	No	The organism ID (e.g., '9606' for human)	9606
