  "summary": "Mechanistic understanding of viral protein-protein interactions enables global health security and pandemic preparedness, yet experimental characterisation remains difficult, costly, and often restricted to specialised laboratories. Here, we describe an in silico campaign using AlphaFold2 and AlphaFold-Multimer to predict monomers and dimer structures within 2,812 viral proteomes from 23 viral…",
